CME将推出“迷你比特币”期货,交易员押注比特币4月底站上8万美元

周二,全球最大期货和期权交易所——芝加哥商品交易所(CME,以下简称芝商所)公布,计划今年5月3日正式推出一款名为“迷你比特币”(Micro Bitcoin)的期货产品,目前只待监管审批。也就是说,美国金融市场很快将增添一种比特币衍生品。

据CME介绍,“迷你比特币”期货合约的每份价值将只有0.1枚比特币,大大低于CME每份规模5枚比特币的标准比特币期货,将基于芝商所CF比特币参考汇率(BRR)以现金结算。

CME称,“迷你比特币”期货保留了CME集团标准比特币期货的特点和优势,但投资方式效率更高,成本利用率也更高,可供投资者对冲现货比特币的价格风险,改善交易策略。

芝商所全球股票指数和另类投资产品负责人蒂姆·麦考特(Tim McCourt)说:

“自从我们的比特币期货合约于2017年推出以来,我们看到我们的加密衍生品的流动性和市场参与度持续稳定增长,特别是在机构交易者中。‘迷你比特币’期货的推出直接响应了众多客户对小型合约的需求,新产品将为参与者提供更多选择,提高他们的交易精准度,帮助他们以透明、有效的方式交易受监管的比特币期货。”

芝商所的加密货币衍生品正不断增加。自2017年12月推出比特币期货后,CME近几年还先后推出了比特币期权和全球第二大加密货币以太坊的期货。

今年以来,CME的比特币期货合约日均交易1.38万份,相当于每日交易约6.9万枚比特币。CME的以太坊期货合约自今年2月8日推出以来,日均交易767份合约,相当于每日交易3.84万枚以太坊。

比特币价格正再度叩响6万美元的大门。此前有消息称Paypal将推出“加密付款”,支持的加密货币包括比特币、比特币现金、以太坊和莱特币。

金融博客零对冲表示,芝商所宣布计划推出新的比特币衍生产品,使交易员能够对比特币这一旗舰数字货币的部分单位进行投机,这一消息也提振了比特币价格。或许这就是比特币期权交易员开始建立大量看涨期权头寸的原因之一,他们押注到4月底价格将超过8万美元。而一些交易员认为,比特币价格将在未来五周翻一番以上。

而根据数据聚合网站Skew,基于4月30日合约市场数据的概率估计显示,期权交易商可能有点过于乐观。该平台认为比特币价格突破8万美元的概率只有6.19%。

今年到目前为止,比特币上涨了100%。其中在三月份,比特币上涨了27%以上,相比之下,道琼斯工业平均指数上涨了7%,标普500指数上涨了4%。

Investing.com高级分析师Samuel Indyk在周二的一封电子邮件中写道,比特币经历了辉煌的一年,情况似乎只会变得更好。该分析师补充说:

“实际上,到年底比特币达到10万美元不足为奇,因为加密货币吸引了更多公司的兴趣以及机构投资者和散户投资者的关注。”
