Bitnomial has launched the first US-regulated futures market for Tezos' XTZ token, providing institutional and retail traders with compliant price exposure. This marks a significant milestone as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversees these contracts, offering a regulated path for institutions seeking crypto exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ether. The XTZ futures allow traders to gain price exposure without directly holding the token, supporting hedging and directional strategies. The launch follows Bitnomial's strategy to expand regulated derivatives, having previously introduced futures for Cardano, XRP, and Aptos. The exchange, based in Chicago, aims to extend retail access through its Botanical platform. Tezos, which launched its mainnet in 2018, has seen significant network development, including its recent Tallinn upgrade, and now benefits from regulated price discovery in the US market.
