CBOE Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE: CBOE), the world’s main derivatives and values, announced plans to launch continuous CBOE futures for Bitcoin and Ether from November 10, 2025, pending regulatory review. The new product marks a great expansion of the Digital Assets of CBOE, which introduces an alternative regulated by the United States to perpetual style futures that are widely negotiated in offshore markets.
The launch will be carried out in CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE) and is designed to provide merchants to long -term and simplified access to exposure to the price of Bitcoin and Ether in a centrally cleared environment.
Unlike traditional futures contracts, which generally expire quarterly and require filming, continuous CBOE futures will be structured as individual and long -date contracts with an expiration of 10 years. These contracts will be in cash and will adjust the spot prices in real time of Bitcoin and Ether daily, using what the company describes as a transparent and replicable financing rate methodology.
At the Hood Summit in Las Vegas, Catherine Clay, Global Director of CBOE derivatives, highlighted the importance of the new offer:
“Perpetual style futures have obtained a strong adoption in offshore markets. Now, CBOE is providing that same utility to our exchange of futures regulated by the United States and allowing US merchants Our product innovation map “.
The launch underlines CBOE efforts to diversify its CFE products suite, which currently includes its future flagpage of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and other products linked to the volatility of equity, digital assets and global fixed income.
CBOE confirmed that the new continuous futures of Bitcoin and Ether will be eliminated through CBOE Clear US, a Derivative Compensation Organization regulated by CFTC. This movement positions CBOE to climb its global compensation capabilities and strengthen its role in the evolutionary cryptographic derivatives market.
As part of its deployment, the options Institute will organize educational sessions on continuous futures on October 30 and November 20, open to the public. Interested participants can register through the CBOE website.
With this initiative, CBOE continues to solidify its position at the intersection of digital assets and traditional finances, with the aim of creating a more robust and regulated ecosystem for institutional and retail merchants alike.
