CME Group Considers Launching Spot Bitcoin Trading to Rival Binance and Coinbase

The futures exchange giant aims to expand its crypto offerings as institutional demand for regulated trading options grows.

CME Group is discussing plans to introduce spot bitcoin trading, potentially challenging Binance and Coinbase.
The move would complement CME's existing bitcoin futures, enhancing its dominance in the crypto market.
Traders could benefit from setting up multi-leg strategies involving both spot and futures markets in one regulated venue.
The potential launch reflects growing institutional interest in regulated crypto trading platforms.
CME has been a leader in bitcoin futures trading since 2017, alongside CBOE.
