CME's regulated ether futures market is experiencing unprecedented activity as institutional interest surges. Notional open interest surpassed $10 billion for the first time, with large holders reaching a record 101 entities. This milestone reflects growing professional participation in ETH derivatives.

Micro contracts exceeded 500,000 positions while options open interest topped $1 billion. "This signals a strengthening institutional ecosystem around ether," stated CME's Giovanni Vicioso. The data indicates ETH is benefiting from capital rotation beyond Bitcoin, marking a significant shift in institutional crypto allocation strategies.
