The United States commodities regulator has authorised Cboe Digital’s application to provide margined futures contracts for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), CoinTelegraph reported on Tuesday.
While Cboe has offered crypto futures contracts since December 2017, consumers could not make margin trades.
With the new clearance, consumers will be able to trade Bitcoin and Ether futures for a fraction of the initial cost.
The clearance is also considered as a positive step for Cboe because it will allow regular financial businesses to access crypto futures without the need for intermediaries.
