"High Demand" For Crypto Products Outside US: CME Launches New Futures

Owing to the demands of investors outside the U.S., derivatives marketplace CME is all set to launch crypto Euro futures. Subject to regulatory review, the company will on August 29 launch Bitcoin Euro and Ether Euro futures. This expansion from the cryptocurrency derivatives offering will be similar to the U.S. dollar-denominated crypto futures, it said. Just like the dollar futures contracts, the Bitcoin and Ether Euro futures will have five BTC and 50 ETH per contract.
