In March, CoinShares <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/362330\/coinshares-bitcoin-volatility-etf-suite-targeting-btc-price-swings\" target=\"_blank\"><span>filed<\/span><\/a><span> to offer Wall Street\u2019s first Bitcoin volatility ETFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Those ETFs tracked CME\u2019s Bitcoin Volatility Index, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfbenchmarks.com\/data\/indices\/BVX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><span>BVX<\/span><\/a><span>, which, since 2024, has offered a real-time benchmark of the volatility of Bitcoin options contracts traded on CME. Put simply, the BVX tracks whether the market, at any given moment, is betting that Bitcoin\u2019s price will swing wildly or stay steady.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>CME\u2019s Bitcoin volatility futures would also track the BVX, which is published every second between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. CT on the marketplace\u2019s trading days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier this year, CME announced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/358595\/cme-crypto-derivatives-trading-24-7-may-wall-street-similar-goal\" target=\"_blank\"><span>plans<\/span><\/a><span> to expand its crypto product trading hours to 24\/7, following the lead of other major Wall Street players seeking to keep up with the nonstop cadence of the digital assets market.
