CME Options Are Coming

CME Group announced options on its Bitcoin futures contracts will be available for trading starting Jan. 13, 2020, pending regulatory review.

In short this means two things:

1. People will be able to trade options on CME’s Bitcoin futures, which will give all current futures traders access to options as well.
2. Jan. 13 is the deadline pending regulatory review. From past experience, that means this date could easily be pushed back.
