CME Group has made another move—this time it selected two familiar faces. On October 19, BCH and UNI will be added to its futures roster. Once regulators give the nod, they’ll go live. One is a veteran from the Bitcoin split in 2017. The other is the largest all-chain decentralized exchange. 📅
The contract specifications are written in great detail. For the standard contract, one lot is 250 BCH. For the smaller contract, one lot is 25 BCH. For UNI, the standard contract is 10,000 UNI per lot. The smaller contract is 1,000 UNI. Retail investors can get in—and institutions have room too. ⚙️
This isn’t the first time it has swept up altcoins. In April, it added Avalanche and Sui. In February, it took on ADA, Chainlink, and Stellar. With these new contracts, trading volume since the beginning of the year has already surpassed $1 billion. In the first half of the year, crypto futures and options averaged 279,800 contracts per day. Nominal trading volume reached $8.3 billion. 📈
Looking at the price action: BCH jumped more than 25% in a day to $338, with a market cap of $6.0 billion. UNI rose 5.5% to $9.28, with a market cap of $5.75 billion. Both are long-established coins. 💹
For a veteran futures exchange, this is a very clear play: package crypto assets into a regulated framework. Clearing and margin go through the old systems. Institutions can go long or short without even touching the wallets. Trades can happen 24 hours a day. 🏦
From another angle, this is also a form of validation for the crypto industry. The coins that make it onto CME’s platform are those that have been vetted. Pricing is no longer dictated only by small exchanges. There’s now another “benchmark.” Still, regulatory approval hasn’t been finalized yet—the date is set for October 19. ⚖️
📌 In one sentence: from Bitcoin Cash to Uniswap, CME is moving the crypto market’s pieces—one by one—into its regulated futures lineup.
With UNI already on the futures roster, are you still just treating it as a governance token? Let’s discuss in the comments.
