Cboe Digital to Launch Margin Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures, Becoming First Platform to Offer Both Spot and Leveraged Crypto Trading
-
Cboe Digital announced plans to launch margin Bitcoin and Ethereum futures on January 11, becoming the first platform to offer spot and leveraged derivatives trading.
-
The new futures will allow traders to use leverage or borrowed funds to make bigger bets on price movements.
-
Cboe Digital already offers crypto futures but the new products will be margined, requiring deposits to maintain open positions.
-
Several trading firms will support the launch by providing liquidity when trading begins.
-
The move comes as Ethereum futures ETFs launched in the U.S. last month but have gotten off to a slow start.
