  Bitcoin futures contracts typically have monthly expiration dates. The exact expiration date depends on the specific exchange or platform where the futures are traded. After the expiration, the futures contract settles, which means that the parties involved either settle the contract in cash or physically deliver the underlying asset. It's important to note that most traders close their positions before the expiration date to avoid the complexities of settlement.

  Bitcoin futures contracts usually expire on the last Friday of the month. After the expiration, traders have the option to roll over their positions to the next contract period or close their positions. Rolling over involves closing the current contract and opening a new one with a later expiration date. This allows traders to maintain their exposure to bitcoin without having to physically settle the contract.
