For added clarity on the futures
MBT is the CME "MIcro" Future. Contract size is 0.1 coin (so about 4.8k) and I believe the current margin requirement is 42% of notional (so about 2k), meaning you get 138% leverage.
The CME full size contract is BTC. Contract size is 5 coins (so about 240k) and I believe the current margin requirement is 42% of notional (so about 100k !!!), meaning you get 138% leverage.
ICE also have a futures contract BTM. Contract size is 1 coin (so about 48k) and I believe the current margin requirement is 37% of notional (so about 18k), meaning you get 170% leverage.
