Wow, some serious competition with three exchanges now with BTC products.

 

Reuters article:

"Nasdaq plans bitcoin futures contract in 2018 - source"

.

 

None of them offers options so far.

 

All of them will. Options help facilitate liquidity in the underlying.

 

Where’s your offer in front month vol on BTC/USD?

 

I'm offering 1800% in Vol. You?

 

Bitcoin options implied volatilities https://www.deribit.com/main#/options

 

I am 1600% bid

 

So I'm a little high....I'm looking for edge!

 

Thing is, there's already an unregulated market of Bitcoin futures, and I would venture to guess the pro-houses are already there, how ruinous could the volume be from wall street?
