CME Futures Dominance

The futures market for digital assets has seen significant growth, with CME Group emerging as a dominant player. CME's futures contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum have attracted substantial institutional interest, highlighting the shift towards more regulated and sophisticated trading environments.

Bull Market Correction Drawdown
