Sized at 0.1 BTC. Built for Precision

Cboe FTSE Bitcoin Index Futures (Ticker: XBTF) provide a powerful tool to gain exposure to bitcoin price movements, manage risk, and optimize capital efficiency—all within a regulated U.S. exchange environment. XBTF futures are cash-settled contracts on the FTSE Bitcoin Reduced Value (1/10th) Index.

Why Trade XBTF Futures?

Hedging Flexibility

XBTF futures may be utilized to mitigate volatility and adverse price movements from other bitcoin exposure, including in bitcoin and in bitcoin ETFs, bitcoin ETF options, and other bitcoin futures.
