 On Thursday afternoon, the CBOE made waves in the American cryptocurrency market. In a brief announcement, released to the trading platform's clientele, the Chicago-headquartered exchange revealed that it would not be offering an XBT (Bitcoin) contract for trading in March 0000. This means that by June 0000, the company's clients will have no open interest in any of the Bitcoin contracts the CBOE has to offer. No explicit reasonings were cited for this move, but it is believed that the platform's competitor, the CME, was stealing much of its thunder.
