It is possible to see that the monthly trading volume of the CME Bitcoin futures has surpassed $6.6 billion. Back in March, Bitcoin futures were only moving $1.2 billion. This rapid growth is related to different factors, including the fact that Bitcoin accelerated its growth path towards a new bull market.

Just in the last two months, Bitcoin grew more than 100%. Now, the digital currency is being traded close to $8,000. As the price of Bitcoin expanded, institutions became also interested in it and in the potential growth that this digital asset has for the future.

These Bitcoin futures are very positive for the market because they allow investors to purchase the digital asset at a specific price at a specific time and increase the stability of the crypto space. The first institution offering Bitcoin futures trading was the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) that decided to drop its services due to falling volumes.

Back in December 2017, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $20,000 but the price of the digital asset fell down to $3,200 a year later. At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is being traded around $8,050 and it has a market capitalization of $142 billion.
