CME Bitcoin Options Contract Volumes Surged 79% in September
|
A total of 4,872 bitcoin options contracts were traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in September of this year, up from 2,717 in August, as shown in CryptoCompare’s September 2020 Exchange Review.
The 79.3% increase came in a month in which the price of the flagship cryptocurrency didn’t move to break its current range between $10,000 and $11,000. Given the price actions, CME’s BTC futures contract volumes remained relatively steady, as last month 201,893 bitcoin futures contracts changed hands on the exchange, down from 203,867 in August.

In terms of total trading volume in USD, CME’s cryptocurrency derivatives products saw a 10.9% decrease to $11.02 billion. In contract, the largest crypto derivatives trading platform last month, Binance, traded $164.8 billion, even though its trading volume dropped 10.7% compared to August.

The total value locked in Ethereum’s smart contracts has also surpassed $10 billion, with MakerDAO, Uniswap, and curve leading the way.

$11 Million of Bitcoin Mined in 2010 Moved for the First Time
|
1,000 Bitcoin mined back in 2010 has been moved over the weekend. The BTC is worth over $11.4 million and moved in its entirety to a single address.
Blockchain data shows the bitcoin was mined ack in September 2010 when the flagship cryptocurrency was less than two years old, and worth less than 10 cents per coin. Back then the mining difficulty was very low, so the funds could have been mined on a laptop.
The funds come from the so-called “Satoshi era,” meaning the funds were mined when Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto was still active in the cryptocurrency space. Nakamoto disappeared from the internet back in 2010, after he stopped posting on the Bitcointalk forum.
On LinkedIn Hans Hauge, head of quant strategy at crypto firm Ikigai Asset Management wrote that “old miners have to be careful about how they move so as to not spook the market.”
