I don't fully understand the Futures market.
How could futures impact bitcoin and its price?
It would not affect bitcoin price directly.It would just remain as oil futures,gold futures do remain without having any direct impact on such commodities.It would just boost bitcoin price to a small extent.Both bitcoin and bitcoin futures would travel parallel and bitcoin futures would be valued based on the current price of bitcoin in gemini exchange.Bitcoin futures increase in price would serve as a cause for increase in bitcoin price.
