Cboe to Launch Bitcoin Perpetual Futures on Nov. 10 with 10-Year Term and Funding-Rate Mechanism

Market sources report that Cboe plans to introduce Bitcoin perpetual futures and Ethereum perpetual futures contracts on November 10, featuring a stated 10-year term and a funding rate mechanism modeled on existing perpetual instruments.

The contracts are described as employing a periodic funding rate to align futures pricing with spot, a common feature in perpetuals that affects price discovery, leverage management, and intraday margin flows; market participants should assess operational and risk-management implications carefully.

By design, continuous futures represent a rolled series of expiries to continuously track the underlying asset price rather than a single delivery month; if confirmed, such listings may provide additional channels for institutional hedging and liquidity provision.
