CME Expands Crypto Derivatives with Stellar, BCH, Uniswap Futures Launch

CME Group is expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives lineup by launching futures for Stellar (XLM), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Uniswap (UNI) on October 19. The launch is pending regulatory review.

This will give U.S. market participants a regulated venue to manage price exposure without directly holding the asset, according to CME's plans. The expansion of cryptocurrency derivatives at CME reflects growing demand from investors for more ways to trade and hedge their crypto investments.
