Institutions make massive moves
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) has been granted approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer leveraged crypto derivatives products.
As per the press release, Cboe Clear Digital has been granted clearance by the CFTC to offer clearing services for digital asset futures with margin.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission today approved an amended order of registration for Cboe Clear Digital, LLC (Cboe Clear) to clear additional products, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the order, as a derivatives clearing organization (DCO) under the Commodity Exchange Act.
The updated order now allows Cboe Clear to offer clearing services for digital asset futures with margin, in addition to the already authorized fully collateralized futures and swaps, to futures commission merchants.
Gabor Gurbacs, a Bitcoin advocate and strategy consultant at Vaneck/MVIS, recently shared with his 56,500 Twitter followers that the latest developments in the digital asset market indicate that institutional players are increasingly interested in entering the space. This trend is occurring despite ongoing regulatory uncertainties and legal challenges facing major crypto exchanges like Binance.
“While everyone is caught up in the Binance SEC case… institutions entered the chat, without people noticing: CFTC Approves Cboe Clear Digital, LLC to Clear Margined Digital Asset Futures…”
The same notes continued and revealed the following:
“I worked with the OCC back in the day to get a margined model approved… the CFTC was waiting to see how the CME contracts end up functioning. Obviously, they are working well… so looks like approvals are back on the table.”
Bitcoin to explode in June
According to a popular on-chain analyst, there is an indication that Bitcoin (BTC) may experience a surge in value this month.
A well-known analyst named Willy Woo has shared with his one million Twitter followers that Bitcoin’s cost-basis analysis suggests a potential rally for the leading cryptocurrency in June.
Investors pay a price to acquire an asset like Bitcoin, which is referred to as the cost basis.
