Cboe Global Markets will launch perpetual-style Bitcoin and Ether futures on December 15. The new “Continuous Futures” are designed to mimic popular offshore “perp” contracts but within a US-regulated environment.
Key features include a 10-year expiration and a daily cash adjustment, allowing traders to maintain long-term exposure without managing contract rolls. This provides a controlled, intermediary-friendly path to leveraged crypto exposure.
The launch comes as perpetual futures volumes hit record highs globally. Cboe had initially targeted a November launch for the products, which are still pending a final regulatory review.
