Terms & Concepts
  • MiFID: The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive is the European Union regulatory framework governing investment services and trading activity across member states.
  • Crypto Futures: Derivative contracts that let traders speculate on the future price of cryptocurrencies without directly owning the underlying assets.
  • Leverage: A trading mechanism that allows users to control larger positions with less capital, increasing both potential returns and potential losses.
