Unconfirmed: CBOE and CME want to trade Ethereum and Litecoin futures

The unspecified sources of one of the respectable financial media tells that BTC futures are just the beginning, and both the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange want to multiply digital assets on the future of which investors can bet. The sources tell reporters this is not just theory, and the launch is imminent, while not telling any deadlines or release dates.

What may infuriate a part of cryptocurrency enthusiasts is that there is no mentioning of Bitcoin Cash, not even in its controversial “BCash” form. Those who always supported the original Bitcoin now have a real bargaining chip in arguments with Bitcoin Cash fans. And Litecoin supporters now have a confirmation that their currency, while not the third one in Coinmarketcap’s Top 3 anymore, still can give Bitcoin Cash the works.

However, this is still not confirmed by any official and non-anonymous sources in both exchanges. Meanwhile, next week there is going to be another launch of Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the organization which was almost certainly the first one to talk about Bitcoin futures as an opportunity. During its announcement, Terrence Duffy made it clear everything is going to be conducted in full accordance with the law, and now with CBOE’s launch, we can see that lawful Bitcoin futures is indeed possible in America.
