ATHUSD Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the ATHUSD contract has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the ATHUSD price. This allows traders to long or short the ATHUSD exchange rate without ever touching ATH or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the ATHUSD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the ATHUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the ATHUSD spot price.
