The CME micro Bitcoin futures allows retail players and individual crypto investors to deal with small-sized contracts thereby ushering more market liquidity while giving the smaller players equal exposure to a regulated environment. On Monday, May 3, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) announced the launch of the Micro Bitcoin Futures in a move aimed at expanding its crypto derivative products. Over the last year, Bitcoin has gained significant price appreciation and momentum. Thus, the demand for Bitcoin derivative products has also surged. While CME was indeed the first to launch the Bitcoin Futures, it was largely available only to institutional players. The cash-settled CME Bitcoin futures is one of the most popular Bitcoin derivative products.
