CME Group Plans Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap Futures Launch for October 19

CME Group has announced plans to launch futures contracts for Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap on October 19, 2026. The proposed launch remains subject to regulatory review.

The planned products will be listed on CME and will include both standard-size and Micro contracts for BCH and UNI. CME Group said the additions will expand its single-asset cryptocurrency derivatives lineup.

Because the launch is conditional, the contracts should not be described as already trading. The announcement sets out the intended contract specifications and proposed launch date, rather than confirming live market availability.

Planned BCH and UNI contract sizes

CME Group’s proposed Bitcoin Cash offering consists of a standard contract sized at 250 BCH and a Micro contract sized at 25 BCH.

For Uniswap, the proposed standard futures contract will represent 10,000 UNI, while the Micro contract will represent 1,000 UNI. Offering two contract sizes would provide distinct listed products within each planned market.

• Bitcoin Cash standard futures: 250 BCH
• Micro Bitcoin Cash futures: 25 BCH
• Uniswap standard futures: 10,000 UNI
• Micro Uniswap futures: 1,000 UNI

A proposed expansion of CME’s crypto derivatives suite

CME Group described the planned BCH and UNI contracts as an expansion of its single-asset cryptocurrency derivatives suite. The announcement places both assets in the same planned product rollout, with standard and Micro formats for each.

The October 19 date is a target, not a completed launch. Regulatory review remains a stated condition, so final availability depends on that process.

The planned UNI futures arrive as Uniswap remains a central subject in decentralized-finance coverage. Readers can also review BTCNews coverage of Uniswap’s market position and its work on fund protection.

What the announcement confirms

The confirmed details are the intended launch date, the planned exchange venue, the four contract sizes and the regulatory condition. CME Group has not, in the supplied information, confirmed that trading has begun.

For market participants, the key distinction is between an announced listing plan and an active futures market. Any assessment of trading activity must wait until the contracts are listed and available, if the regulatory condition is met.
