Fed’s Third Mandate Ignites De-Dollarization Firestorm - Bitcoin Rockets to New Highs

When the Fed prints, Bitcoin wins—and the dollar loses its crown.

The De-Dollarization Domino Effect

Central banks worldwide are ditching greenbacks faster than a hot potato. The Fed’s third mandate—prioritizing employment and social outcomes over currency stability—backfired spectacularly. Trillions in liquidity injections eroded global trust, pushing nations toward gold, yuan, and yes, Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s Perfect Storm

No borders. No bailouts. No Fed. Bitcoin surged as institutional players hedge against monetary madness—because nothing says 'store of value' like an asset that can’t be inflated away by committee decisions. Hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, and even pension funds are now stacking sats like it’s 2021 on steroids.

Wall Street’s Ironic Pivot

Banks that once mocked crypto now custody it—talk about a plot twist worthy of a financial thriller. Meanwhile, the SEC still can’t decide if Bitcoin is a security, a commodity, or an existential threat to their entire regulatory playbook. Classic bureaucracy—always one crisis behind reality.

Finance’s New Safe Haven?

Gold glitters, but Bitcoin flies. As the dollar wobbles, digital gold captures the narrative—and the capital. It’s not about replacing the system; it’s about opting out of its failures. And let’s be real—if your monetary policy requires a printer that never stops, maybe the problem isn’t the critics. It’s the policy.

Cboe’s 10-Year Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures Bring Regulated Access

The derivatives exchange will be introducing continuous Bitcoin futures along with ethereum futures that have unprecedented 10-year expiration periods. These U.S.-regulated products actually eliminate the need for quarterly rolling, which simplifies position management for institutional traders quite a bit.

Catherine Clay, Global Head of Derivatives at Cboe, stated:

“Perpetual-style futures have gained strong adoption in offshore markets. Now, Cboe is bringing that same utility to our U.S.-regulated futures exchange.”

The continuous bitcoin futures will be cash-settled and Cboe adjusts them daily to spot prices using transparent funding methodologies. Cboe’s return to crypto derivatives represents a major shift, as the exchange launched their original Bitcoin futures back in 2017 but later discontinued them.

Market Impact and Trading Structure

These Ethereum futures and Bitcoin futures will actually trade on Cboe Futures Exchange, and they’re being cleared through the CFTC-regulated Cboe Clear U.S. The 10-year expiration structure addresses institutional demand for long-term crypto exposure without the operational complexity that comes with it.

Perpetual contracts currently represent about 68% of Bitcoin trading volume in 2025, at the time of writing. The U.S.-regulated environment provides institutional confidence that offshore markets simply cannot match right now.

Clay emphasized the broader market appeal:

“We expect Continuous futures to appeal to not only institutional market participants and existing CFE customers, but also to a growing segment of retail traders seeking access to crypto derivatives.”

The Options Institute will actually host educational sessions on October 30 and November 20 to prepare traders for these new Bitcoin futures and Ethereum futures products.
