CBOE Global Markets, one of the largest derivative and values ​​exchange networks in the world, has announced plans to launch continuous future FOE in its CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE) as of November 10, 2025, waiting for regulatory approval.
The new product line will debut with Bitcoin and ether contracts, which gives merchants access to long -term exposure to digital assets within a regulated and central environment.
Unlike traditional futures, which generally expire monthly or quarterly and require rolling in new contracts, continuous futures will be structured as individual and long date contracts with an expiration of 10 years. CBOE says that this format simplifies position management and reduces costs linked to frequent reinverse.
CBOE’s continuous futures are directed to institutional and retail cryptography merchants
According to the announcementContracts will be in cash and will be aligned with spot market prices through daily cash settings. The price will use a transparent financing rate methodology to replicate the real -time assessments of Bitcoin and Ether.
Speaking in him Hoody Summit in Las VegasCatherine Clay, global derivative director in CBOE, showed that perpetual style futures have become dominant in exchanges on the high seas, but lack a regulated counterpart from the United States.
“Now, CBOE is bringing that same utility to our exchange of futures regulated by the United States and allowing US merchants to access these products with confidence in a reliable, transparent and intermediate environment,” Clay said. He added that futures are expected to attract institutional investors and retail merchants.
The launch is based on the broader strategy of CBOE to expand its CFE products suite beyond its future flag of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). In recent years, CBOE has implemented derivatives linked to shares, digital assets and global fixed income.
Continuous futures will be cleaned through CBOE Clear US, a compensation house regulated by CFTC. CBOE says the movement reinforces its goal of creating a robust global exchange and a compensation ecosystem.
Before the debut in November, the CBOE Options Institute will hold educational sessions on October 30 and November 20 to help merchants understand how continuous futures work.
This development follows several digital assets initiatives of the Chicago -based exchange.
In April 2025, CBOE was expected to launch FE FTSE Bitcoin Index Futures (XBTF) in association with FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group. XBTF contracts will be established in cash on the last business day of each month and will be based on the reduced value index of Bitcoin FTSE, which represents a tenth of the value of the FTSE Bitcoin index.
Futures XBTF will complement the options linked to the CBOE Bitcoin US ETF index, introduced in November 2024. According to CBOE, the combined set of futures and options with cash placement is designed to give operators more flexibility to collect or speculate in Bitcoin price movements without maintaining the asset directly.
The expansion of CBOE occurs when consolidating its deals related to cryptography. The company lists many of the Funds (ETF) quoted by Bitcoin and Ether of the USA. UU. In its BZX Equities Exchange and recently launched Bitcoin index options in cash in standard and mini contract sizes.
His future marginalized Bitcoin and Ether, currently quoting at CBOE Digital Exchange, are scheduled to migrate to CFE in the second quarter of 2025.
CBOE Clear Europe has also expanded its compensation services this year, covering the transactions of securities financing for European shares and ETFs.
Meanwhile, CBOE BZX Exchange has asked the United States Stock Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC) to be approved to include rethinking characteristics in Fidelity Ethereum ETF.
The American regulator indicates the approval of future cryptographic perpetuals as exchanges expand access to trade
The United States Public Future Trade Commission (CFTC) is preparing to approve perpetual futures contracts for cryptocurrencies, according to the outgoing commissioner Summer Mersinger.
In statements to Bloomberg in May, Mersinger said that requests for these products are under review and could “very soon.”
Perpetual futures, derived contracts without an expiration date, represent much of the volume of global cryptographic derivatives, but have been pushed for a long time on the high seas due to the regulatory limits of the United States.
Mersinger said that bringing them back on land will be “beneficial for the industry and economy of the United States,” emphasizing that cryptographic assets are “clearly here to stay.”
The announcement occurs when several exchanges, for example, Coinbase, build their regulated derivative business. Coinbase launched the future of Bitcoin and Ether’s futures 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in May through Coinbase Derives LLC, becoming the first platform regulated by CFTC in the USA in the USA. In providing uninterrupted access.
In July, Coinbase extended its offer by introducing perpetual futures regulated by CFTC for retail merchants. The launch included the contracts of Nano Bitcoin (BTC-PERP) and Nano Ether (ETH-PERP) with leverage of up to 10x.
