According to PANews, the world's largest futures exchange CME Group plans to launch Bitcoin spot trading in response to the growing demand for the cryptocurrency industry from Wall Street money managers this year. CME has held discussions with traders who want to buy and sell Bitcoin on a regulated market. This plan has not yet been finalized, but if implemented, it will further deepen the penetration of major Wall Street institutions into the digital asset field. This move follows the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of a stock market fund that directly invests in Bitcoin in January this year. CME has become one of the biggest beneficiaries of this wave of renewed institutional interest, with its market in Chicago currently having about 26,000 open positions worth about $8.5 billion, more than double what it was a year ago.
