CME Group to Launch Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Futures on October 19
- —Standard BCH contract covers 250 coins; micro covers 25 BCH
- —Standard UNI contract covers 10,000 tokens; micro covers 1,000 UNI
- —Contracts are cash-settled against CME CF Reference Rates, with no token delivery
- —CME crypto futures and options averaged $8.3 billion in daily notional in H1 2026
Why it matters: Regulated futures give institutions a way to hedge BCH and UNI without holding the tokens, though demand will hinge on post-launch liquidity.
