Kevin Carrai, Cboe Vice President
and Global Head, Market Data and Access Services said: "Cboe was
the first global exchange group to launch regulated cryptocurrency
futures in the U.S., and we are committed to helping foster a more
mature and orderly global marketplace for digital assets. An
important part of this effort is efficient and widespread
distribution of trade data, to enable investors to make better
decisions. To that end, we're delighted to work with IPC to
jump-start this effort."
IPC offers Connexus Cloud users access to Cboe Bitcoin USD (XBT)
futures data from Cboe Futures Exchange, LLC (CFE).
XBTSM futures provide a centralized marketplace for
participants to trade based on their view of bitcoin prices, gain
exposure to bitcoin prices or hedge their existing bitcoin
positions. XBT futures are cash-settled contracts based on
Gemini's auction price for bitcoin, denominated in U.S. dollars.
Gemini Trust Company, LLC (Gemini) is a digital asset exchange and
custodian founded in 2014 that allows customers to buy, sell, and
store digital assets such as bitcoin, and is subject to fiduciary
obligations, capital reserve requirements, and banking compliance
standards of the New York State
Department of Financial Services.
"Cryptocurrency trading volume continues to grow globally, with
analysts projecting it to reach nearly one
trillion dollars this year," said Mike Smith, Director Global Exchange Relations
Management at IPC. "At IPC we are addressing this dynamic,
exciting and developing marketplace in which a vast range of
investors are increasingly interested in trading, but given the
varying offerings and exchange options, seek strong data to inform
their participation. By supporting financial market participants
with the real-time data and information they need, we are
empowering their participation in the growing cryptocurrency
