In the first two hours of operation of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, more than 800 futures contracts were made

SVOE posted this information on its Twitter account. Even despite the system malfunctions associated with the influx of a huge number of people wishing to purchase futures, an impressive number of contracts were still sold.

In anticipation of the opening of trading, the price of Bitcoin fluctuated constantly. Within minutes of the futures markets opening, the price soared over $1,000 only to immediately fall in half. Now the price is rising again and is already approaching a new historical high. At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading above $16,500 on major dollar exchanges.


There has been a lot of concern lately that the opening of regulated futures trading could lead to lower prices due to the massive opening of contracts against Bitcoin. Judging by current price action, these fears will likely not come true, but traders remain on edge.
