Cboe Global Markets 计划于本月晚些时候推出新的比特币期货产品,但需获得监管部门的批准。
该交易所网络在 4 月 7 日的新闻稿中表示,新的期货合约 Cboe FTSE 比特币 (BTC) 指数期货将于 4 月 28 日开始交易。富时比特币指数将作为现金结算期货的基础,其价值将降至其十分之一。
The product will trade under the XBTF ticker and settle on the last business day of each month. It aims to provide traders greater control over their exposure to Bitcoin without requiring them to hold the actual asset. Cboe says the new FTSE Bitcoin Index Futures product complements its recently launched options tied to Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
Together, these products are intended to give investors a broader set of tools for hedging or building crypto-related strategies. Cboeâs global head of derivatives Catherine Clay hailed the launch as a useful addition to their Bitcoin product ecosystem. She emphasized that it will provide traders with even more tools to navigate the digital assets ecosystem.
“此次发布正值加密货币风险敞口需求持续增长的关键时刻,市场参与者越来越多地寻求资本效率更高、更灵活的方式来获取和管理这种风险敞口。”

新期货产品使用的指数由富时罗素与数字资产研究公司合作开发。该指数旨在使用严格的标准来追踪比特币的价格,其中包括交易所和数据源,以帮助确保指数反映可投资市场。
This move aligns with Cboeâs growing commitment to digital asset products, including the listing of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs and recent launches of Bitcoin ETF index options in both standard and mini sizes. Cboe saw a record-breaking March, registering its highest volume ever with an average of 18.8 million options contracts traded every day.
In addition, its S&P 500 contracts and proprietary index options reached a new monthly average daily volume record of 3.9 million contracts. Cboe also set a single-day SPX trading record of 4.8 million contracts on Mar. 10.Â
