Want to trade cryptocurrencies but wish they were regulated? Read on to find out how the new Micro Bitcoin futures contract from the CME Group addresses this issue.

What are Micro Bitcoin futures?

You might have seen that back in May 2021 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched a micro futures contract for bitcoins.

Bitcoin futures allows traders and investors to participate in the bitcoin market through a transparent and regulated exchange, avoiding the pitfalls associated with ‘over-the- counter’ non-regulated entities.

The Micro Bitcoin futures contract is a tenth of a bitcoin and therefore one fiftieth of the standard 5-bitcoin futures contract from the CME Group.  This smaller-size bitcoin contract opens up the possibility of cryptocurrency futures to retail traders with any account size.
