    At BYDFi, we use the mark price as the reference price for our cryptocurrency derivatives. This helps ensure fair and accurate settlement of contracts. Our mark price is calculated using a combination of factors, including the last price, index price, and funding rates. We update the mark price frequently to reflect the current market conditions. It's important for traders to understand the difference between the last price and the mark price, as it can affect their trading strategies and the settlement of their positions.
