CME Group Adds Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Futures to Cryptocurrency Suite
CME Group is expanding its cryptocurrency futures offerings by launching 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.
The new contracts will allow market participants to trade both 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).
Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group, stated that 'crypto markets continue to mature, participants require broader, regulated tools to navigate evolving digital asset related price risk.'
