Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) regulated Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures saw record participation from large traders in the second quarter.
CME said institutional interest in Bitcoin futures continued to increase throughout the quarter as investors sought regulated venues/products to hedge against rising market volatility and manage risk and exposure. In addition, demand for hedging tools also pushed trading volume and open interest in BTC and ETH futures and options to record highs in the first half of the year.
