CME’s Bitcoin Cash and UNI futures debut as BCH open interest returns to earth

CME has launched futures contracts for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI), expanding its regulated derivatives lineup beyond BTC and ETH. The debut coincides with BCH open interest cooling off after an earlier spike, suggesting traders are repositioning rather than piling into fresh leverage. A trader would care because CME-listed futures can strengthen the case for related spot ETF applications and signal growing institutional appetite for altcoin exposure.
