What is an inverse futures contract?
An inverse futures contract is a financial arrangement that requires the seller to pay the buyer the difference between the agreed price and the current price when the contract expires. Unlike traditional futures, the seller benefits from a drop in price. The nature of inverse futures contracts is non-linear. When a trader goes long a BTC/USD inverse futures contract, they are short the U.S. dollar. Because the contracts are inverse, the trader's position is worth less in Bitcoin, and the higher the value of Bitcoin, the higher its value relative to the U.S. dollar.
