Nah, I wouldn't say that it's a good indication for bitcoin to become stable.

When Bitcoin Futures offering came into the scene, there's a lot of speculation that it can have a negative effect on the market, and that's what we witnessed in 2018.

And we can't take for granted manipulation behind, which has been seen in precious metals for quite some time now.

I am aware that there are people who really believe that bitcoin futures trading is not good for bitcoin. Nevertheless, the surge in the contracts bought in the CME platform is showing us that there is a growing interest for bitcoin and possibly a more positive outlook for the coin otherwise this growing interest will not be happening. Can this trend continue for this year and even into 2020? Yes, there is a big possibility for that especially that the bull run is forming right before our eyes.

Not sure if it's actually a big help as you put it. The increase in cash settled contracts eats up a lot of the spot demand, which isn't something we can discard when CME frequently trades over 100,000BTC a day. I hope that Fidelity and Bakkt will be able to push it back a bit, but CME's influence on the market is a bit worrying.

At first no one gave a shit about them due to how low the volumes were, but when you're easily surpassing Coinbase, Bitstamp and Kraken combined in trading volume, you have a say in this market.

Gold's market has been trashed by cash settled products, and in the long run I expect the same to happen to Bitcoin's market, especially with how there aren't enough coins available. The CME CEO even said that one of Bitcoin's biggest 'obstacles' is the lack of available supply. Obstacle for them is a good thing for people holding the actual asset.
