Single-Collateral
For inverse futures margin must be deposited in the base currency.
For example, Bitcoin must be deposited to trade Bitcoin-Dollar futures and Ether must be deposited to trade Ether-Dollar futures.
Multi-Collateral
For linear Multi-Collateral futures, multiple collateral currencies can be deposited as margin. See Futures Collateral Currencies for list of supported collateral.
Multi-Collateral futures allow for flexible profit payout in any one of the support collateral currencies.
For example, Cardano-Dollar futures could be traded using Euros and Bitcoin as collateral and realise profit in Ethereum.
