Settlement process for Derivatives

Last updated: August 9, 2025

Derivatives come with four maturities:

•
Perpetual: Never expire
•
Monthly: Expiring the last Friday of every month.
•
Quarterly: Expiring the last Friday of the month on the March quarterly cycle (March, June, September and December).
•
Semiannual: Expiring the last Friday of the month on the March quarterly cycle (March, June, September and December). Semiannual maturity is available for FI_BTCUSD and FI_ETHUSD contracts only.

Fixed maturity contract positions that are held to maturity are cash settled at the price set by our Index Provider.

Settlement results in a taker fee.

Positions can be exited at any time before maturity by trading out of the position.

Inverse fixed maturity contracts mature on Fridays at 16:00 London time and settle within 15 minutes afterwards based on the reference rate computed from the Index Provider.
