CME Group officially launched Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures on June 9. Bitcoin Cash is included in the index alongside BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, and XLM.
These are regulated futures contracts listed on CME Globex and financially settled against the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index. Giovanni Vicioso, CME's Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products, called it "a major milestone in the expansion of our regulated digital asset marketplace."
The timeline matters. Grayscale launched the BCH Trust. 21Shares listed a BCH ETP in Europe. Kraken added institutional custody. EDX Markets opened regulated trading. And now CME — the world's largest derivatives exchange — includes BCH in an index product that institutional clients can hedge or gain broad crypto exposure through.
Sean Wasserman at Nasdaq described index-linked futures as "a natural extension of how index-based frameworks support market development." Hashdex's Mick McLaughlin called it "another sign of crypto's maturation and its ongoing intersection with traditional financial market infrastructure."
The institutional plumbing for $BCH is no longer theoretical. It's CME-listed, Nasdaq-indexed, and cleared through the same counterparty infrastructure used for equities and rates.
Bitcoin Cash’s continued presence in what large institutions and interest, shows people take its 8 year history and being the only successful fork of BTC very seriously.
The rest will come.

The charts are drawing attention. What's underneath the chart matters more.
Bitcoin Cash continues adding capabilities while preserving the foundation that made Bitcoin work.
Recently it added the Layla upgrade. Giving $BCH 4 new completely new capabilities.
Same genesis, same 21M supply, same proof-of-work, but designed to scale on-chain rather than offload to fragmented second layers. The application layer is shipping.
@ParyonUSD is building stablecoin infrastructure on BCH. @_paytaca_ operates a merchant wallet processing real transactions. @CauldronSwap
runs an on-chain DEX. NFT Marketplaces are live at @BCHcash_mint and developer tooling at @nexopsbch , and much more.
@BCH_BULL and @GeneralProtocol are building the next generation of native financial infrastructure on Bitcoin Cash.
@BCH_Guru is gaining momentum as early Prediction Market players.
On the institutional side, DATs, custody and exposure products are emerging. MFi, Grayscale BCH Trust, 21Shares BCH ETP, Kraken custody support, EDX Markets listing.
The kind of infrastructure that takes years to build and signals BCH is being treated as an asset class. The market will decide the price. The fundamentals are becoming easier to measure.
$BCH will survive every winter, or bear market like it has for the last 8 years. Every year it will become more advanced and become the world's best decentralized programmale money.
