STRK Linear Futures Contract Specification

  • Expiration date: February 23, 2024
  • Margin currency: USDT
  • Contract size: 1 strong

The key differences between the STRK listing and other futures contracts are:

  • Price limits: Up and down limits are set hourly at +/- 20% of the average price.
  • Payment price: .BSTRKT30M
  • Automatic asset liquidation: activated

This new list is very unstable and Speculative contract. This changed a few things:

  • Since there is no observable price for STRK yet, we are using the close indicator.
  • To protect against market manipulation, we use price caps and floor prices set at +/- 20% of the hourly regular price. Traders cannot bid above the ceiling price and cannot make offers below the ceiling price.
  • that much .BSTRKT When it is possible for our team to create a robust index representing the spot price of STRK tokens, BitMEX will construct the index. If such an index exists, we may, at our discretion, change the presentation method to fair price. Until such an index is created, the value is .BSTRKT It is set to 0. If no indices are created by the expiration date, the settlement value will be 0.
  • As with all cryptocurrency derivatives contracts traded on BitMEX, automatic liquidation is likely to occur. This contract is purely speculative and therefore has a higher chance of automatic liquidation compared to a regular contract.
