"CME Group announced its new Bitcoin Volatility Index futures are now available for trading."
"CME Micro Bitcoin futures trading with a $0.10 multiplier, lower the barrier for retail participants who want leveraged Bitcoin exposure without the capital requirements of full-sized contracts."
"The CME BVI contract lets institutions trade BTC swings directly, adding regulated demand that supports a stronger floor while expanding Wall Street exposure to crypto markets."
