Cboe Global Markets will begin trading continuous futures contracts for bitcoin and ether on December 15, offering U.S. regulated perpetual style exposure to the two leading cryptocurrencies.
The exchange’s Bitcoin Continuous Futures (PBT) and Ether Continuous Futures (PET) will feature 10 year expirations at listing with daily cash adjustments, designed to eliminate the operational burden of rolling positions while providing long term exposure. The contracts will be centrally cleared through Cboe Clear U.S. and available for trading 23 hours a day, five days a week.
“As perpetual futures have historically been traded offshore, Cboe is excited to help expand access to these products within a U.S.-regulated, transparent, and intermediary-friendly environment,” said Rob Hocking, Global Head of Derivatives at Cboe. “The structure of Cboe’s Continuous Futures is designed to enable streamlined and efficient portfolio and risk management, while providing investors a controlled way to gain some leveraged exposure to digital assets.”
