Micro Bitcoin Futures are set to react sharply to upcoming Fed commentary. Traders should watch for volume spikes during speech windows, as recent patterns show high correlation with short-term BTC price moves. Going forward, Crypto.com can design and offer its own leveraged contracts, and the exchange said it will announce the details of a new suite of margined products soon. Crypto traders might consider themselves light-years removed from their boisterous, brawling ancestors who bought and sold futures contracts on old-school commodities like crude oil, gold, and soybeans in the trading pits of yore. But nowadays, they actually share a common strand of DNA, in the form of futures contracts based on Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and other digital currencies. Daily average volume of Micro Bitcoin Futures rose 9% this week, aligning with heightened activity in crypto options markets. Traders are noting increased correlations between BTC and U.S. tech stocks.
