Cboe plans to launch Continuous futures for bitcoin and ether on Cboe Futures Exchange beginning November 10, 2025, pending regulatory review. The contracts are single, long-dated instruments with a 10-year expiration, designed to avoid quarterly rolling. Contracts will be cash-settled and adjusted daily to reflect real-time spot prices through a transparent, replicable funding rate methodology. The product aims to provide U.S. traders a regulated alternative to offshore perpetual-style futures and to give long-term, simplified access to cryptocurrency price exposure in a centrally cleared, intermediated environment. The launch expands CFE's digital asset and derivatives offerings.
"Perpetual-style futures have gained strong adoption in offshore markets. Now, Cboe is bringing that same utility to our U.S.-regulated futures exchange and enabling U.S. traders to access these products with confidence in a trusted, transparent and intermediated environment. We expect Continuous futures to appeal to not only institutional market participants and existing CFE customers, but also to a growing segment of retail traders seeking access to crypto derivatives."
"Unlike traditional futures contracts, which typically expire on a quarterly basis and require rolling, Cboe Continuous futures will be structured as single, long-dated contracts with a 10-year expiration. These contracts will be cash-settled and adjusted daily in line with real-time spot prices of bitcoin and ether, using what the company describes as a transparent and replicable funding rate methodology."
