CME Group operates a futures and derivatives exchange and plans to add a contract for bitcoin futures perhaps early next month.\n\nTerry Duffy,<br> CME Group CEO,<br> told CNBC that he expects the exchange to list a bitcoin futures contract \u201csometime in the second week of December.\u201d\n\nA futures contract listing brings with it many complex financial strategies for handling price volatility,<br> something that has been a persistent characteristic of bitcoin. The exchange could halt futures trading,<br> match long and short positions,<br> as well as other methods for keeping a market working.\n\nYou can see the video of Mr. Duffy\u2019s discussion here: \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/YSFwDlDdmTE\n\nWhat do you think? Will this help control bitcoin volatility or make it less attractive to investors and\/or users?",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"bitcoin\",<br>\"cryptocurrency\",<br>\"crypto\",<br>\"money\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/qncjwshi5\/Bitcoin_Futures_400.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/YSFwDlDdmTE\/0.jpg\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/postimg.org\/image\/pl2de8yop\/\",<br>\"http:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\",<br>\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YSFwDlDdmTE\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
