2019 has been a good year for the flow of institutional interest in Bitcoin Futures products, with a significant rise in curiosity around BTC derivatives and BTC Futures. In the same spirit, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group has officially released a statement<\/a>, announcing that it will launch options on Bitcoin Futures on January 13, 2020.<\/p>\n

This step was taken by the CME in response to the crypto-community’s interest in the digital assets space, alongside a growing demand for tools for effectively managing Bitcoin’s exposure. <\/b>The CME also brushed over the details regarding contract units, that is, 1 Bitcoin Futures contract will be used for representing 5 BTCs. The official statement added that the block minimum will be fixed at 5 contracts for every individual trader. It went on to say,<\/p>\n

“Option exercise results in a position in the underlying cash-settled futures contract. In-the-money options are automatically exercised into expiring cash-settled futures, which settle to the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the aim of assisting traders, contracts are designed to help them with effective management and hedging of Bitcoin price risk in the balanced crypto-market. Also, CME aims to deliver services so that traders and hobbyists can save capital by a good margin, through margin offsets.<\/p>\n

Previously, the CME Group had revealed<\/a> its plan to move ahead with its idea of integrating options for BTC Futures by the first quarter of 2020. Further, Asia has emerged as the hub for crypto-related developments. Thus, the CME is looking forward to a higher interest rate towards BTC Options products in the Asian market. However, it is important to note that CME has no plans of launching<\/a> physically-settled BTC contracts in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
