CME Expands Crypto Derivatives with Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Futures

Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures — The CME Group is expanding its crypto derivatives offerings with the launch of futures contracts for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI).

The exchange will list both standard and Micro-sized contracts for each asset. The standard Bitcoin Cash contract will represent 250 BCH, while its Micro counterpart will cover 25 BCH. For Uniswap, the standard contract will be based on 10,000 UNI, with a Micro contract for 1,000 UNI.

This move marks a significant expansion of CME’s crypto product suite, which already includes Bitcoin and Ethereum futures. The introduction of Micro contracts is designed to provide greater access to a broader range of traders by lowering the capital required for a position.

The launch reflects growing institutional and professional trader interest in derivatives for a wider array of digital assets beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies.
