CBOE considers converting Bitcoin and Ethereum continuous futures into perpetual futures

Odaily reported that Rob Hocking, Head of Global Derivatives at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that the exchange is exploring the conversion of Bitcoin and Ethereum continuous futures into perpetual futures.

Previously, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission had approved cryptocurrency perpetual futures for the prediction market Kalshi, opening a regulatory pathway for other registered U.S. exchanges to offer similar products. Rob Hocking did not provide a timeline for the potential conversion. (cointelegraph)
