CME Group Targets October 19 for BCH and UNI Futures Launch

CME Group is planning to launch Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures on October 19. The products will be available in standard and Micro sizes, with BCH contracts representing 250 units and UNI contracts representing 10,000 units.

The proposal is subject to regulatory review, which means the launch date may change if issues arise. CME has set out contract sizes and tickers for each proposed product, including smaller Micro versions alongside the standard contracts.

CME's existing crypto derivatives volumes have been substantial in the first half of 2026, with an average daily volume of 279,800 contracts and a notional value of $8.3 billion. The new products would add to this activity if regulatory review is completed in time for the October 19 target.
