CME Group Adds BCH and UNI Futures Amid Rising Client Demand

CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, is expanding its cryptocurrency offerings. The company will launch Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures on October 19, pending regulatory review.

The move comes in response to strong client demand for institutional-grade risk management tools across high-liquidity altcoin markets.

CME Group's new contracts will allow market participants to trade larger- and Micro-sized contracts: Bitcoin Cash futures (250 BCH) and Micro Bitcoin Cash futures (25 BCH), as well as Uniswap futures (10,000 UNI) and Micro Uniswap futures (1,000 UNI).

The addition of these new contracts is designed to provide greater versatility and capital efficiency for clients managing price risk and gaining exposure to key crypto networks.
