CME Plans October 19 Launch of BCH and UNI Futures

CME plans to launch standard and Micro futures on Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) on October 19, pending regulatory review. The BCH standard contract covers 250 BCH and the Micro 25 BCH; the UNI standard contract covers 10,000 UNI and the Micro 1,000 UNI. The products are intended for price discovery and risk management. BCH and UNI drew market attention after Bitcoin broke above $87,000 on September 21.

AI take

CME's expansion into BCH and UNI futures signals that regulated derivatives coverage is broadening beyond the largest tokens, giving institutions a familiar venue for hedging and price discovery in assets that previously lacked it. The move matters most for desks that need exchange-listed exposure or risk tools without touching spot venues. The open question is whether liquidity in these contracts builds enough to make them genuinely useful, or whether they remain niche alongside CME's dominant BTC and ETH products.
