CME Group to Launch Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Futures
- CME Group plans to introduce Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures on October 19, pending regulatory approval.
- Standard Bitcoin Cash futures will cover 250 BCH, while micro contracts cover just 25 BCH.
- Uniswap futures will represent contracts of either 10,000 UNI or a micro version at just 1,000 UNI.
- In the first half of the year, CME’s crypto futures and options averaged a daily volume of $8.3 billion in notional value.
The addition of Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap to CME’s regulated futures lineup reflects the growing demand for broader tools in navigating digital asset price risks within a regulated framework. This expansion follows previous launches including Avalanche and Sui futures earlier this year.
If approved, these new offerings will become CME’s tenth and eleventh single-asset crypto futures products, joining others like Ethereum and Solana when trading opens on October19 . (Source)
