Most peoples will think CME futures is good for bitcoin because trillion dollar will buying bitcoin but its appears not good for bitcoin because bitcoin futures is not selling and buying bitcoin physical but its just contract paper.
Most of the hype was indeed related to people believing institutions would pump billions in Bitcoin's market, but it turns out to be a product for those looking to bet short or long, which in the last months has been more short.
I however don't see them as one of the main drivers for the price to go down. It's pure coincidence that the futures are signalling shorts during a bear market. In other words, the price would go down regardless of CBOE and CME.
It's however not a cool story that the market tanks because of a lower overall demand. If you want to sell articles you have to point at the futures and Tether and government crackdowns as to why the price tanks.
Welcome in mainstream media land.
