Cboe Dives Into Crypto Futures With Cash-Settled Bitcoin Index Contracts
Cboe just handed Wall Street a new toy—cash-settled Bitcoin futures tied to its proprietary index. No messy custody, no actual BTC required—just pure, unfiltered price speculation. Perfect for institutional players who want crypto exposure without the regulatory headaches.
Here’s the kicker: these contracts settle against Cboe’s Bitcoin Index (good luck finding anyone who actually tracks it). Another case of traditional finance repackaging crypto for the suit-and-tie crowd—because who needs decentralization when you’ve got leverage?
