CME Group made Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures available for trading on October 19, expanding its regulated cryptocurrency derivatives offering with standard and Micro contracts for both tokens. The products are listed on CME Globex and cleared through CME ClearPort, according to a CME Group notice.
The launch gives market participants access to BCH and UNI exposure through CME’s CFTC-regulated derivatives marketplace, where the exchange positions the contracts as tools for regulated exposure and risk management.
BCH and UNI futures begin trading on CME Globex
The four contracts now available are Bitcoin Cash futures, Micro Bitcoin Cash futures, Uniswap futures and Micro Uniswap futures. Trading takes place on CME Globex, the group’s electronic trading platform, while clearing is handled through CME ClearPort.
CME’s October 12 electronic-trading notice specified October 19 as the date the products became available. The listing brings two additional crypto assets onto a venue that operates within the US-regulated futures market structure.
Contract sizes provide standard and Micro exposure
CME’s standard and Micro futures represent 250 BCH and 25 BCH for Bitcoin Cash, respectively, and 10,000 UNI and 1,000 UNI for Uniswap, respectively, according to its crypto launch page.
That gives each asset two contract sizes within CME’s CFTC-regulated cryptocurrency derivatives marketplace.
CME extends its single-asset crypto lineup
Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap join a single-asset crypto derivatives range that already includes futures linked to Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche and Sui. The Block reported that the additions broaden CME’s roster beyond those existing assets.
The new listings add BCH and UNI to that regulated suite with both standard and Micro-sized contracts, while CME Globex and CME ClearPort provide the trading and clearing venues for the products.
