By March 2025, crypto derivatives volume ($3T monthly) surpassing spot trading ($1.5T) has heightened market volatility. Futures and options amplify leverage—e.g., 100x positions magnify 1% moves into 100% swings—fueling rapid price shifts. Investors can hedge risks using derivatives: buying puts to cap losses during crashes or selling futures to lock profits in rallies. Low-cost perpetual swaps (0.03% fees) offer flexibility. Success requires mastering leverage limits and monitoring funding rates to avoid liquidations, turning volatility into a strategic edge rather than a liability.
