BlockBeats News, April 8th, according to Coindesk report, Chicago-based options exchange Cboe's cryptocurrency arm, Cboe Digital, announced on Monday that it plans to launch a new Bitcoin futures product on April 28th, pending regulatory approval. The product will be done in partnership with FTSE Russell, based on the XBTF Index (representing 1/10th of the FTSE Bitcoin Index value), settled in cash, and will settle on the last business day of each month.
Catherine Clay, Head of Global Derivatives at Cboe, stated that the launch comes as the market continues to see increasing demand for exposure to cryptocurrencies, with investors increasingly seeking more capital-efficient and versatile ways to gain and manage crypto exposure. Cboe became the first U.S. regulated trading platform to offer spot and leveraged derivatives trading simultaneously, approved by the CFTC in November 2023.
