Currency futures are futures contracts based on different currencies and their respective exchange rates. Among all currency futures, the most popular contracts are those currencies traded against the USD. Some major currency pairs include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, CAD/USD, among others.

All currency futures are tradable round-the-clock through an electronic platform. Currency futures are highly liquid, hence, the trading volume increases over time.

The British Pound is one of the major currencies traded worldwide. Respective futures and option contracts reflect the value of GBP/USD.
