I assume that for every buyer of the futures there is a seller - that is a 'shorter'.

Does the system do full hedging? That is if it lets someone short a future - then does it buy the bitcoins for it to keep it and deliver to the buyer of the future on expiry?

What happens when your call option expires - will you get the bitcoins then?

I don't really know what are the standards in these circumstances - but if the system does not have the 348,608 coins to be delivered this week - then it can cause a huge short squeeze.
