Cboe Global Markets intends to launch 10-year dated futures for Bitcoin and Ether on November 10, pending regulatory approval. These continuous futures contracts aim to simplify position management for U.S. traders by offering long-dated contracts without the need for periodic rollover, a common requirement in traditional futures. Unlike standard futures that expire at set intervals, these contracts will be cash-settled and aligned with the spot prices of Bitcoin and Ether. Catherine Clay, Cboe's Global Head of Derivatives, highlighted the increasing adoption of perpetual-style futures in offshore markets, with continuous futures offering similar utilities within a regulated U.S. environment. This is a significant return for Cboe into the crypto derivatives market, expanding their product offerings after a pause. The success of this product could also be influenced by previous hurdles faced by exchanges in launching such products, though regulatory stances appear to have shifted positively in recent years.
