Around the Clock Crypto Futures Trading Ahead

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General: Crypto Trading Round-The-Clock

Big news. CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, plans to offer customers round-the-clock trading for its cryptocurrency products next year.

The timetable anticipates 24/7 trading of futures and options starting in early 2026. Currently this will cover the CME Group’s main offerings in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but starting Oct. 13, they will be joined by Solana and XRP derivatives.

Trading in cryptocurrency derivatives has been growing steadily since CME first offered Bitcoin futures in 2017. Notional open interest, which represents the outstanding value of contracts, reached a record $39 billion in mid-September.

All-hours access lets investors respond to price swings in real time, which could add additional legitimacy and liquidity to these digital assets.

Stock Index Futures:

The Dec. E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq futures contracts traded to new all-time record highs intraday today. Volume has tended to be lighter on this the sixth day of the U.S. government shutdown.

Traders have been negligibly on edge at these highs with some uncertainty about the U.S. shutdown, the state of the jobs market and the delay of scheduled releases of U.S. government economic reports.

Looking elsewhere for clues on the U.S. jobs front, last week a report from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicated U.S. employers announced fewer layoffs in September but hiring plans so far this year were the lowest since 2009. It came a day after a weaker-than-expected ADP National Employment Report.

Metals:

Dec. gold futures rose to new all-time highs for the sixth of seven trading sessions today, barreling through yesterday’s first move through $4,000 per ounce to trade intraday up to $4,081 per ounce, a $76.6 per ounce follow-through move.

Gold and silver futures have surged roughly 55% and 65% year to date, respectively, as expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts have boosted the appeal of metals, which tend to perform better when interest rates are lower.

Energies:

Despite today’s report that U.S. crude oil inventories rose more than expected last week, crude oil futures oil futures staged a modest recovery today after last week’s decline to a 16-week low as the U.S. government shutdown fed worries about the global economy, while traders expected more oil supply to come on the market with the planned output boost announced by OPEC+ over the weekend.

December Dollar Index

The December dollar index broke out into a new high and completed its first upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. If the chart can sustain further strength, the second count projects a possible run to the 99.60 area, consistent with a challenge of the August reversal high.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The New Micro Ether contract is 1/10th the size of the full-sized Ethereum futures contract.
The current price for the full-sized is $4160.00 per contract, so it follows that the micro, full contract value is 416.00. ( as of Dec. 6th noon central)
This contract will trade the first 6 months consecutively, on it’s first day today , trades have occurred in the first two months, Dec and Jan 22 respectively

Micro Bitcoin Futures

Micro Bitcoin Futures

Cryptocurrency has taken off as an encrypted alternative to real spending money, giving people more options for doing business. Bitcoin is one of the leading cryptocurrencies on the market, especially after it boomed in 2017. Nowadays, many websites accept Bitcoin payments, which has helped the cryptocurrency market grow significantly. Micro Bitcoin futures have also made a significant impact on the futures trading industry. 

Now, many brokers offer futures for Bitcoin and other types of cryptocurrency. It is easier than ever to trade shares of these types of currency, and traders of all experience levels can trade practically anytime and anywhere. 

  • Keep in mind that before you start trading Bitcoin/ Micro Bitcoin and other crypto futures you will need to acknowledge additional risk disclosures on top of the standard futures disclosures.

One of the most convenient ways for traders to get the results from cryptocurrency is by trading micro futures. Recently, the CME Group announced new Micro Bitcoin futures, which have revolutionized futures trading. Now, for 1/10 the cost of the average Bitcoin share, a trader can purchase shares of this new type of future.

About Micro Bitcoin Futures

Micro Bitcoin Futures and Bitcoin Futures are both offered by CME to traders around the world. These contracts vary in size, depending on whether a client pursues a regular Bitcoin future or a Micro Bitcoin future. 

Micro Bitcoin Futures allow traders to access Bitcoin Futures for a tenth of the cost of a regular Bitcoin future. Both types of contracts make it easy to get into the Bitcoin market, allowing clients to get the most out of their trading process. 

Trading Micro Bitcoin Futures

The CME Group launched Micro Bitcoin Futures in May of 2021 and it has been a successful  contract from the start. With Bitcoin rising in prominence worldwide, it is easy to see why this type of futures contract appears to be here to stay. 

Bitcoin futures trading has been prominent since 2017 when the CME Group introduced it. Micro futures allow traders to speculate and hedge using 1/10th the size of a single coin of this iconic cryptocurrency. With Bitcoin still dominating the cryptocurrency industry, it is easy to see why many traders prefer the Micro futures over the traditional larger Bitcoin futures as the good faith deposit required is 1/10th of that of the standard Bitcoin contract.

While the new Micro Bitcoin Futures provide a value of 1/10 of a Bitcoin, these contracts are 1/50th the good faith deposit required of a traditional Bitcoin contract. This lower margin requirement allows traders to access more futures, giving them greater control of how much they can invest. 

The versatility of the market, along with the lower capital involved, helps more traders access this type of future. It is for this reason that Micro Bitcoin Futures are popular with both active traders and cryptocurrency users. 

Benefits of Micro Bitcoin Futures

There are many benefits involved in trading Micro Bitcoin Futures, which can help traders who have just started participating in the market. 

Micro Bitcoin futures allow traders to take advantage of the many benefits of Bitcoin futures without investing as much. The CME Group saw the need for a minor Bitcoin futures contract, especially since the traditional contract was worth 5 Bitcoin. 

More people could participate in cryptocurrency futures trading by creating this new, minor contract, which helped liquidity.

The institutional volume for Micro Bitcoin Futures has allowed the market to reach over a million contracts in just a short period. While this type of trading launched in the summer of 2021, it has become a popular choice, even seeming to outpace the traditional Bitcoin futures market. 

Here are just a few of the benefits traders can expect when utilizing Micro Bitcoin Futures:
  • Smaller capital investment
  • Reasonable bid offer spreads
  • Lower entry price
  • Regulated financial products
  • More accessible to more traders
  • And more

The team here at Cannon Trading can help traders understand this type future, allowing them to get the most out of their opportunities. We understand that our traders have varying needs, which has led us to develop innovative solutions and platforms to achieve them.
