The trading volume for Bitcoin futures contracts has been multiple times over that of the underlying spot market.” Ariel Ling, CEO of Bithumb Futures commented on the rapid expansion of the market. “The launch of Bithumb Futures is the remarkable result of strategic collaboration across diverse markets and deep product expertise and we hope to build out an institutional-grade trading platform that can meet dynamic trading needs and eventually help grow the overall market.”
