One of the world’s largest futures exchanges, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), is preparing to take a major step into the crypto markets. Starting November 10, 2025, the exchange will roll out perpetual futures contracts for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
CBOE’s Crypto Expansion
CBOE has previously attracted attention with its crypto derivatives offerings. This time, the exchange is expanding its product suite with perpetual futures contracts, enabling investors to take leveraged positions on Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements.
What Are Perpetual Futures?
Perpetual futures are financial instruments with no fixed expiry date, designed to closely track the underlying spot price of an asset.
They offer:
- High liquidity
- Leverage trading opportunities
- 24/7 market access
These features make perpetual futures highly appealing for both institutional and retail traders.
Why It Matters
The entry of a traditional giant like CBOE into perpetual futures is being seen as a signal of the crypto market’s growing maturity. Analysts expect the launch to boost institutional and professional interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum while further expanding the U.S. crypto derivatives market.
CBOE’s upcoming BTC and ETH perpetual contracts could mark the beginning of a new era for digital asset derivatives, bridging traditional finance with the rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem.
