TradeStation Securities Supports Trading of Micro Bitcoin Futures from CME Group Starting on Day One

TradeStation continues to offer its customers access to the cryptocurrency futures markets with a new contract that’s 1/10 the size of one Bitcoin and 1/50 the size of the standard Bitcoin futures contract.

Plantation, FL (May 3, 2021) – TradeStation Securities, Inc. (“TradeStation”), a Monex Group company and award-winning* broker-dealer and futures commission merchant, now offers its futures clients the ability to trade Micro Bitcoin futures contracts, through CME Group.

CME Group first launched Bitcoin futures (BTC) in 2017, and since then, the notional value of Bitcoin has fluctuated between $19k in December 2017 to over $60k in April 2021. For many retail futures traders, the amount of capital needed to speculate on the price direction of Bitcoin, or to hedge their spot Bitcoin price risk, is significant. CME Group recognized this challenge and chose to launch Micro Bitcoin futures to make the trading of Bitcoin futures contracts more accessible and to help answer the growing demand among sophisticated, retail traders for additional regulated cryptocurrency products. The Micro Bitcoin futures contract is 1/10 the size of one Bitcoin and 1/50 the size of the standard Bitcoin futures contract.

“The interest around cryptocurrency in 2021 continues to grow, and as we see more corporations and financial institutions recognize the importance of crypto, it increases interest for the retail investor community. We’re excited to offer our futures clients another way to trade the price direction of Bitcoin, based on the daily CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, through cash-settled Micro Bitcoin futures. By lowering the barrier of entry, more retail traders will be able to gain exposure to Bitcoin, which exceeded $60k in April,” said John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group, Inc. “We were day one supporters of CME’s Bitcoin futures product, and we’re looking forward to our continued relationship that allows us to enable our clients to access cryptocurrency price fluctuations through futures trading.”

TradeStation futures clients can now trade Micro Bitcoin futures through its TradeStation desktop platform, web-trading and mobile app, as well as its TradeStation FuturesPlus platform. Both platforms provide advanced visualization and analysis tools.

“We are pleased TradeStation is supporting the launch of our new Micro Bitcoin futures,” said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products at CME Group. “Since the launch of our Bitcoin futures more than three years ago, TradeStation, and the broader broker community, have played an important role in not only facilitating trading but educating institutional and other sophisticated traders on the benefits of crypto derivatives.”

The survey, which gauges customer sentiment based on answers to specific questions from a random sampling of customers of Monex, Inc., TradeStation, and Monex Boom Securities (H.K.) Limited reveals high expectations for U.S. stocks among retail investors in Japan, the U.S., and Hong Kong, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although COVID-19 cases continue to increase in the U.S., many investors anticipate U.S. stock prices to continue to rise. Retail investors in all three regions surveyed indicate expectations that the U.S. is the region with the greatest likelihood of stock price appreciation in the coming three months.

“At the beginning of the year, stocks fell drastically as governments worldwide implemented stay at home orders and millions lost their jobs due to the pandemic. However, we saw a dramatic turnaround in April as the stock market rallied, recovering much of the losses incurred in the early weeks of the pandemic,” said John Bartleman, President of TradeStation’s parent company, TradeStation Group, Inc. “As we approach 2021, we remain cautiously optimistic about U.S. market conditions. We expect to see continued levels of volatility as the world grapples with the intensifying pandemic and governments begin to roll out new COVID-19 vaccines.”

Other key findings reveal:

• The percentage of retail investors who participated in the survey in the U.S. and Japan who had already invested in cryptocurrency reached all-time highs at 21.0% and 16.2%, respectively, aligned with Bitcoin passing $20K and reaching historic levels this month.
• Overall appetite for cryptocurrency investment remained low, with nearly half of respondents in the U.S. (43.5%) and more than half in Japan (53.5%) citing a lack of interest in cryptocurrency.
• The forecast Diffusion Index (DI) for the world stock markets remained flat among respondents from Japan, decreased slightly among respondents from the U.S. and increased significantly among respondents from China.
