Micro Ether futures will allow the contract size to be smaller

Currently, the CME offers trading in ether futures with a contract size of 50 ETH ($222,000). With micro Ether futures, the contract size will be much smaller, allowing for more precise trading. "Since the launch of Ether futures in February, we have seen steady growth in liquidity in these contracts, especially among institutional traders" Tim McCourt, global head of equity index and alternative investment products at CME Group, said in the press release.

The new contract will be cash-settled and based on the CME CF Ether dollar reference rate, which serves as a once-a-day reference rate for the U.S. dollar price of Ether. Micro Ether futures are listed on the CME and are subject to the rules of the CME.

CME offers a wide range of products

CME currently offers trading in Bitcoin and Ether futures and micro Bitcoin futures and options on Bitcoin futures. The trade is always settled in cash and uses reference prices from CF benchmarks.

To date, the exchange has seen a record trading volume of more than 675,500 Ether futures, representing a value of 33.6 million ETH ($149 billion).

Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
