New Bitcoin Futures coming: Cboe announces the launch of XBTF

Cboe Global Markets, the largest global network for the exchange of derivatives and securities, has announced the launch of a new product: the Cboe FTSE Bitcoin Index Futures, scheduled to debut on the Cboe Futures Exchange (CFE) on April 28, 2025, pending regulatory approval. The new contracts result from collaborative work with FTSE Russell, a well-known entity for structuring market indices, and will be based on the FTSE Bitcoin Reduced Value Index (ticker: XBTF), equivalent to one-tenth of the main FTSE Bitcoin index value. For some time now, Cboe has been consolidating its position in the derivatives market on digital assets, and the introduction of XBTF futures represents a significant evolution. These cash-settled contracts are designed as the ideal complement to the options already active on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF index, completing an ecosystem that offers investors greater versatility, capital efficiency, and above all, new ways to navigate Bitcoin volatility. The XBTF contracts will be cash-settled, expiring on the last business day of each month, in the afternoon (time slot ‘P.M.'). A key point is that they will be managed by OCC, the same entity that already handles clearing for options on CBTX and MBTX, further strengthening the guarantee structure around these products.
