The largest U.S. regulated market for bitcoin futures has been sounding out cryptocurrency traders to gauge their interest in a listing of futures and options on the Ethereum blockchain’s native tokens.
ErisX has released a block trading API for futures contracts and spot market trades to help large traders.
ErisX is launching physically settled ether futures contracts, it announced Monday.
A new BitMEX contract and soaring Bitfinex long positions suggest increased interest ahead of ETH 2.0.
As ether’s price rose to seven-month highs on Wednesday, the aggregate daily volume in ether futures exceeded $4.5 billion for the first time since June 27, 2019.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Heath Tarbert says the crypto world will see ethereum futures contracts sometime in 2020.
The CFTC is willing to approve an ether futures contract – provided it ticks all the right boxes, a senior official told CoinDesk.
