On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), investors with a smaller wallet can now locate micro-sized bitcoin and ether futures options. The new offering, which went live on Monday, includes contracts for a tenth of a bitcoin (BTC) or one ether (ETH).
According to the company’s website, these services will allow “market players to efficiently hedge market-moving events with greater precision and flexibility.” Instead of real crypto, the options settled on liquid micro-bitcoin and micro-ether futures. According to the corporation, they have cheaper dollar rates due to smaller contract amounts.
Investors can choose between a long-term or a short-term plan, with monthly and weekly alternatives available. The new product was launched by CME earlier this month.
