“Against a backdrop of heightened market volatility in the digital-asset sector, we continue to see clients turn to a trusted, regulated venue like CME Group for reliable and efficient cryptocurrency risk-management products," Giovanni Vicioso, global head of cryptocurrency products at CME Group (CME), said in the release.
CME’s bitcoin and ether futures and options had a record daily average volume of more than $3 billion in the first quarter, the firm said. The company launched its micro bitcoin futures in May last year to respond to demand for smaller-sized contracts.
