Bitcoin had its busiest day ever on financial exchanges yesterday as a second major product rolled out.
CME’s futures (symbol BTC) had volume of more than 1,000 in their first session of trading. Each contract controls 5 coins.
Cboe’s product (symbol XBT), which represents a single coin, turned over more than 3,800 times — its most active day aside from launch. Combining BTC and XBT, futures accounted for about 8,800 of underlying coins on Monday. That tallies up to over $165 million, based on the index price around $18,800.
