CME ADDS BITCOIN CASH AND UNISWAP FUTURES AS CRYPTO DERIVATIVES PUSH GROWS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

CME Group plans to list futures on Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap on October 19, pending regulatory approval, with standard and Micro contract sizes of 250/25 BCH and 10,000/1,000 UNI. The addition brings CME's single-asset crypto derivatives roster to 11 tokens, with Uniswap marking the first DEX governance token the exchange has listed. CME averaged 279,800 contracts per day in H1 2026, about $8.3 billion in daily notional, while altcoin-specific contracts generated more than $1 billion in notional for the year. The listings follow CME's June launch of a 24/7 crypto futures and options market, as institutional participants seek regulated venues for altcoin price risk management across a widening asset set.
