Title: CME Group Bitcoin Index
Post by: BlackJacky on May 26, 2016, 12:20:07 PM
Folks,

why is it such a big deal that CME Group is going to set-up a Bitcoin Index? Maybe Ive understood something mit carefully but the NYSE has a Bitcoin Index.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

Futures have a settlement price, which probably will be the index.
