Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Crypto traders have something to look forward to as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, announced its plans to expand its suite of cryptocurrency options on May 22, pending regulatory review. 

The Chicago-based exchange will now offer daily expiries for both standard- and micro-sized Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts every day of the business week, from Monday through Friday. The move is a significant development for the crypto industry, providing traders greater flexibility and more opportunities to trade digital assets. This comes as Illinois sports betting also gains traction as a regulated industry in the state, reflecting the growing acceptance of digital financial tools in various sectors.

More Options In The Derivatives Market For Crypto Investors

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is one of the world’s largest and most well-known derivatives exchanges. It was founded in 1898 as the Chicago Butter and Egg Board. It has become a global marketplace for various financial instruments, including futures, options, and other derivatives.

The CME is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and operates under the parent company CME Group. The exchange is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a National Futures Association (NFA) member.

The CME Group’s suite of crypto options includes both Bitcoin and Ether futures and options contracts, allowing investors to hedge against price volatility and speculate on the market’s direction.

The contracts are settled in cash and have become increasingly popular among institutional investors to gain exposure to the crypto market without holding the underlying asset.

According to a press release, The new contracts will allow traders to manage short-term price risk. They will complement the monthly and quarterly expiries available across all Bitcoin and Ether options on futures contracts.

Additionally, Options on micro-sized Bitcoin and Ether futures will add Tuesday and Thursday expiries to their existing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday contracts. Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group Global Head of Crypto Products, stated:

We are pleased to offer these new options contracts to provide market participants with greater precision and versatility in managing short-term bitcoin and ether price risk.

Increasing Institutional Demand In This Crypto Sector

CME Group has reported a record daily average notional of over $3 billion for its Bitcoin and Ether futures and options complex in Q1 2023. This significant increase in client demand for liquid hedging tools clearly indicates the growing interest in cryptocurrencies among institutional investors.

The trading highlights for Q1 2023 include Bitcoin futures and options exceeding 11,500 contracts, with open interest averaging a record 24,094 contracts. On March 22, a record 2,357 Bitcoin options contracts were traded, and on March 31, the open interest reached a record 14,700 contracts.

Per the press release, Since launching Ether options contracts in September 2022, more than 4,600 contracts have been traded. A record 311 Ether options contracts were traded on February 22; on March 24, the open interest reached 1,800 contracts. Giovanni Vicioso concluded:

Against a backdrop of heightened market volatility in the digital asset sector, we continue to see clients turn to a trusted, regulated venue like CME Group for reliable and efficient cryptocurrency risk management products.
