CME Says It’s Launching Ethereum Micro Futures as ETH Soars to New Highs

[Galaxy]

CME will make Ethereum micro futures available on December 6. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) today announced that it will offer Ethereum micro futures on December 6. This will allow investors to make much smaller trades than with current Ethereum futures contracts, the marketplace said.

Right now, CME's Ethereum futures contracts—launched in February—allow investors to bet on contacts priced at 50 ETH, or $224,780-worth of the cryptocurrency. But the micro Ethereum contracts will be priced at one-tenth of one ETH: around $449.56 at the time of writing. Source
