Earlier this month, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world’s leading derivatives exchange, launched Micro Bitcoin futures.
The Micro Bitcoin futures contract represents one-tenth of one Bitcoin and is based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, a once-daily benchmarking of the price of Bitcoin to the US dollar. The contracts are cash-settled.
“We are pleased to introduce this new contract at a time when we continue to see consistent growth of liquidity and participation in our crypto futures and options,” said Tim McCourt, CME group global head of equity index and alternative investment products, in the press release announcing the launch.

Here’s what market participants are saying to Bloomberg:
Seema Shah, chief strategist at Principal Global Investors:
“What have we really learned today that we didn’t already know?
Markets were already expecting a rise in inflation the big question is how sticky that inflation is. That has not been answered today, nor will it be answered for several months. Nonetheless, risk markets will continue to be whipsawed by inflationary concerns over the coming months and investors would be wise to introduce some inflation protection into their portfolios.”
