Could you please explain what leverage means in the context of Bitcoin futures? I'm curious about how it works and how it can potentially impact trading strategies. Could you also provide an example to illustrate how leverage affects the potential gains and losses in Bitcoin futures trading? I'm eager to learn more about this aspect of cryptocurrency trading.

    These contracts confer the right to buy or sell the asset but do not actually transfer ownership of the asset itself.
