Cboe Launching Bitcoin & Ether Perpetual Futures December 15
Cboe announced plans to launch Bitcoin Continuous Futures (PBT) and Ether Continuous Futures (PET) on December 15, 2025, subject to regulatory review. These represent U.S.-regulated perpetual-style exposure to cryptocurrency markets.
Key Details:
Launch date: December 15, 2025 (pending regulatory approval)
Products: Bitcoin Continuous Futures (PBT) and Ether Continuous Futures (PET)
Structure: 10-year expiration with daily cash adjustment mechanism
Clearing: Centrally cleared through CFTC-regulated Cboe Clear U.S.
Trading hours: 23x5 (Sunday-Friday, 6pm-5pm ET)
How This Differs from Offshore Crypto Derivatives:
Unlike offshore perpetual swaps, these Cboe products offer:
Full CFTC regulation and oversight
Central clearing through a regulated clearinghouse
Price discovery in U.S. markets during traditional trading hours
Institutional-grade infrastructure and risk management
The perpetual-style structure (10-year expiration with daily settlement) provides continuous exposure without the need to roll contracts, while maintaining regulatory compliance through the central clearing mechanism.
For NexusFi traders interested in cryptocurrency exposure, this represents an alternative to offshore platforms with the backing of U.S. regulatory oversight and institutional infrastructure.

So almost identical copies to what CME did!
@aligator while they will be financed in USD, the will probably have TradFi margining rules so assuming your broker allows it, you'll be given a chance to meet the margin call rather than auto liquidated.
