Cboe Plans Nov. 10 Debut of Regulated ‘Continuous’ Bitcoin and Ether Futures Pending Approval

The long-dated, cash-settled contracts use daily funding adjustments to track spot prices under CFTC‑cleared risk management.

Overview

  • Cboe announced it will list Bitcoin and Ether Continuous futures on the Cboe Futures Exchange on November 10, subject to regulatory clearance.
  • The single-contract design carries maturities up to 10 years with daily cash adjustments that mirror a funding‑rate approach tied to spot markets.
  • The contracts will be cleared through Cboe Clear U.S., a derivatives clearing organization overseen by the CFTC.
  • Cboe pitches the products as a U.S.-regulated alternative to offshore perpetuals, aiming to cut rollover costs and operational complexity.
  • The Options Institute plans public education sessions on October 30 and November 20 to explain contract mechanics and risk.
