The CBOE clarified this news in a statement released on March 14th.
Contemplating CBOE’s re-evaluation as to how the derivatives mechanism perceives trading crypto-assets. They mentioned “CFE is assessing its approach with respect to how it plans to continue to offer digital asset derivatives for trading. While it considers its next steps, CFE does not currently intend to list additional XBT futures contracts for trading.”
Last Wednesday was the latest round of CBOE XBT (XBTH19) futures expired. These futures contracts are settled on a predefined date, based on contractual terms. Usually, all CBOE contracts will have to be traded, or settled, before the expiry date and they help in price discovery.
