Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is a function of the global
CME Group holding that became the first in North America(and 2nd in the world) to offer futures contracts.
In
2017 CME began using cryptocurrency as an asset. The first Bitcoin futures were launched when the market was at its peak — Bitcoin has reached
$20 000 on the
17th of December
2017.
The launch announcement poured gasoline into the fire, creating a blaze. Ever since that moment, Bitcoin continued to grow and find new historical
maximums.
