Cboe Global Markets ($CBOE) announced plans to introduce Cboe Continuous futures on its Cboe Futures Exchange beginning November 10, 2025, pending regulatory approval. The product suite will launch with bitcoin and ether contracts, offering U.S. traders new long-term exposure to crypto assets.
- Continuous futures will be structured as single, long-dated contracts with a 10-year expiration, reducing the need for position rolling.
- Contracts will be cash-settled and benchmarked to spot bitcoin and ether prices, using daily cash adjustments through a transparent funding rate methodology.
- The products aim to bring perpetual-style futures, widely used in offshore markets, to a U.S.-regulated exchange with centralized clearing.
- Cboe expects strong interest from institutional investors, CFE customers, and retail traders seeking access to crypto derivatives.
- The contracts will be cleared through Cboe Clear U.S., a CFTC-regulated clearinghouse.
- The launch expands Cboe’s CFE product suite, which includes VIX futures and products tied to equity volatility, digital assets, and global fixed income.
- Cboe’s Options Institute will host educational courses on Continuous futures on October 30 and November 20.
