Could you please explain what cryptocurrency derivatives are? I've heard this term mentioned frequently in financial discussions, but I'm not entirely sure what it refers to. Are these similar to traditional derivatives in the stock market? If so, how do they differ? Also, what are the risks and potential benefits of investing in cryptocurrency derivatives? I'm interested in understanding their role in the crypto ecosystem and how they might impact the overall market. Thank you for clarifying.
