CME Adds Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap to Its Regulated Crypto Futures Offerings
CME Group announced the addition of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap's native token UNI to its regulated futures lineup, with contracts set to launch on October 19. The exchange is offering both standard-sized and micro versions for each asset—250 BCH or 25 BCH per contract, and 10,000 UNI or 1,000 UNI respectively. This move expands CME's crypto futures suite as part of a broader strategy to provide institutional-grade tools in the evolving digital assets market. Bitcoin Cash is currently trading at $338 with a $6 billion market cap, while Uniswap’s token trades at $9.28 and has a $5.75 billion valuation. CME's global head of cryptocurrency products emphasized that these new contracts are designed for capital efficiency and exposure to key crypto networks within a regulated environment. CME has been actively expanding its altcoin futures offerings this year, having already launched contracts on Avalanche, Sui, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, XRP, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana. The 2026 expansion into these assets generated over $1 billion in notional value so far.
