CME Group Adds BCH and UNI Futures Contracts
CME Group has announced plans to launch futures contracts for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) on October 19, 2026. This move aims to cater to client demand for institutional-grade risk management tools across high-liquidity altcoin products.
The company stated that the launch is subject to regulatory review and will offer larger and micro-sized contracts for both assets: 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).
Giovanni Vicioso, global head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group, said that the new contracts are 'designed for greater versatility and capital efficiency.' This allows clients to manage price risk and gain exposure to key crypto networks within their 24/7 regulated marketplace.
