The Chicago exchange Cboe is going to launch Ether futures, but experts believe that this could have negative consequences for the coin itself.
Tom Lee, a well-known Bitcoin bull who promised the price of Bitcoin would reach $25,000, told Business Insider that Ether futures could hurt Ether itself and benefit its larger rival.
Futures, which give investors the ability to bet on the future price of an asset, helped propel Bitcoin to record highs in late December. But then the price of Bitcoin fell by more than 70%. Ether futures can have a similar impact on its price. On the other hand, while bears are shorting Ether, this will reduce pressure on the price of Bitcoin.
Futures and options exchange Cboe is waiting for approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch the product and will sell Ether futureson Gemini. She already sells Bitcoin futures on the Winklevoss brothers' platform.
