What is the Delivery Contract?
The delivery contract is a digital currency contract that is delivered on a regular basis with USDT as the quote and settlement currency, the price of which is all formed by the market mechanism. Instead of using the index, the profit and loss are calculated using the last transaction price. Currently, the delivery contract is a six-month contract, the settlement occurs every Friday at 17:58 (UTC +8), and will be delivered at 17:58 (UTC +8) on the last Friday of the six-month period. The seven cryptocurrencies including BTC, EOS, ETH, LTC, XRP, ETC, and TRX involved in the delivery contract will be delivered at 17:58 (UTC +8) on July 26, 2019. Besides, the BNB delivery contract will be delivered at 17:58 on October 25 while the delivery of HT will occur at 17:58 on November 15.
Some may ask, is it necessary to use USDT as both the quote and settlement currency? Of course, in this way, investors can free from losses caused in the multi-currency conversion process, and trade the delivery contracts of various currencies including BTC, EOS, etc. Moreover, the long-term performance of USDT is relatively stable. Therefore, using USDT as the quote and settlement currency can reduce the risk brought by the depreciation of cryptocurrencies such as BTC, EOS, etc., and avoid the occurrence of an increase in the amount of the currency while declining in asset value.
