- Cboe Global Markets, a leading provider of market infrastructure and tradable products, has announced that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved Cboe Clear Digital to expand its product offering to include margined futures contracts.
The first products to launch following this new approval will be “physically and financially settled Bitcoin and Ether contracts,” which Cboe plans to launch in the second half of 2023. “We are grateful to the CFTC for working with us as we continue to build out our vision for a transparent, U.S. regulated crypto marketplace that welcomes intermediaries,” said John Palmer, President of Cboe Digital. “Derivatives are a time-tested and valuable tool that enable investors to gain market exposure and manage their risk.”
