CME Group Crypto Derivatives Volume Soars 129% in April With ETH Leading the Charge

Wall Street’s favorite crypto playground just got louder. CME Group’s crypto derivatives volume exploded by 129% last month—with Ethereum futures and options leading the charge like a bull escaping the SEC’s china shop.

The institutional stampede comes as ETH flirts with its 2021 highs, proving once again that traders will always find a way to gamble... sorry, ’hedge’... even when the regulators are busy drawing red lines in the sand.

Funny how these ’risky, speculative assets’ keep attracting nine-figure volumes the moment traditional finance smells blood in the water. But hey, at least the suits are finally learning to front-run retail for a change.
