Major exchange Cboe has announced that it will offer new investment vehicles for Bitcoin and Ethereum. These products, called perpetual futures contracts, are scheduled to go on sale on December 15, 2025.
These contracts are valid for a full 10 years and automatically renew for cash daily. This allows investors to be exposed to price fluctuations over long periods of time without having to update their positions regularly.
This new system is considered to be particularly important for large investors, as previously similar agreements were typically made on overseas platforms with limited oversight. But Cboe says these products will be provided in a transparent and secure environment with full government oversight. All transactions are conducted through official government-controlled clearinghouses. This aims to reduce potential disputes between parties and ensure a safer investment process.
The price of the contract is determined by the real-time market value of Bitcoin and Ethereum. To ensure this adjustment, a small cash adjustment is applied to open positions each day. This ensures that contract prices always remain close to the real market. This feature facilitates long-term planning for investors and provides a more stable risk management structure.
Cboe executives believe that these new products fill a significant gap for financial institutions looking to invest in the crypto market for the long term.
