- New CME BTC contract specifications to be effected after approval.
- Bitcoin defends $9,063 support as bulls return for another round of gains.
The existing Bitcoin futures contract on the Chicago Merchantile Exchange Group [CME] will soon be subjected to new specifications according to a recent announcement. The new specifications are probably going to be effected early 2020. However, CME is yet to receive the required approval for the said options contracts.
The new specifications provide that at the time of contract trading termination, a provision will be provided for them to be moved to a single Bitcoin futures contract. A single Bitcoin futures contract holds five Bitcoins. The price for BTC will be referred to in USD.
