cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that CME Group is expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives lineup to include Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap. Trading for these new contracts is scheduled to begin on October 19, pending regulatory review. Both assets will be offered in standard and Micro contract sizes to provide traders with varied options for managing exposure.
The standard Bitcoin Cash futures contract will be based on 250 BCH, while the Micro version will cover 25 BCH. For Uniswap, the standard contract represents 10,000 UNI, and the micro version covers 1,000 UNI. CME Group stated in a press release that these smaller contracts offer greater flexibility for adjusting positions.
They also serve participants who prefer lower contract sizes within a regulated futures market. The new products will be available on CME’s 24/7, CFTC-regulated marketplace. This expansion adds two major digital assets to the exchange's existing derivatives suite. The move aims to give traders more tools for managing price exposure in these specific markets.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for UNI, measured when this story was written up on 23 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Uniswap is currently trading at $10.23 on Binance spot markets. Over the last hour, buy pressure is building with a buy ratio of 54.0% and a positive volume delta of $484,367. However, this short-term bullishness contrasts with the 4-hour timeframe, where the buy ratio sits at 47.1% and the volume delta is negative at -$2,120,629. The 24-hour buy ratio of 52.1% indicates a slight majority of buyers, supported by a cumulative volume delta of $9,785,954. The buy ratio measures the proportion of volume driven by buyers versus sellers, while volume delta shows the net difference between buy and sell volume. This data suggests that while immediate buying is strong, the broader four-hour trend shows net selling pressure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.7% sits at the 13th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for UNI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio for UNI was 50.8%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 52.1% slightly above average by 1.4 points. Spot volume for the day was $206,895,118, which is 1.92 times the weekly average, indicating an unusually high level of activity. This surge in volume contributed to a total volume delta of $25,603,111 over eight days. The price increased by 60.6% over this eight-day period, driven by four days of net buying out of seven. This recent activity marks a significant deviation from normal trading patterns, with volume nearly doubling its typical level.
