CME Group has launched its Ether Futures product offering. The new contract is cash-settled, and based on the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate. Tim McCourt, CME Group Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products, joins Andy to talk Ether Futures.  Guest: Tim McCourt Why you should listen: Andy and Tim discuss the CME Futures markets, the role of futures in global price discovery, and how market participants use Futures to hedge their positions. Tim says, “Based on increasing client demand for our Bitcoin futures and options markets, we see the addition of Ether futures as a valuable tool to trade and hedge this growing cryptocurrency. Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by both market capitalization and daily volume. The introduction of listed Ether futures will help create a forward curve so Ethereum market participants can better manage price risk.” Tim McCourt serves as CME Group's Managing Director and Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products.  He is responsible for leading the development and execution of the company's global Equity Index, Commodity Index, and Cryptocurrency product strategies. He serves on the CME Ventures Investment Committee and the S&P Dow Jones Indices U.S. Advisory Panel.  Key takeaway: Andy asked Tim how CME Group thinks about open-source decentralized protocols such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Tim said, “When we look at cryptocurrencies we think it's interesting in the way they are pushing out the frontier of finance. CME Group is a two-century-old institution with an innovative history itself. We've introduced all sorts of innovative financial products across that 200-year history. So when we see new technologies that can help our clients engage with markets in new ways, we adapt and innovate, and look for new ways to serve the risk management needs of our customers. I think it's exciting and interesting and I look forward to seeing how this continues to evolve.” Supporting links: CME Group Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

"It's been number one on the ask list for a long time." That's Tim McCourt, global head of equity products for CME Group. Speaking about the reception of the more than hundred-and-seventy-year-old exchange's latest product -- futures based on ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network -- McCourt characterized the response as "overwhelming." "People have been really excited ... I think for a long time customers have really been demanding ether futures. They're really excited about the bitcoin futures and the success they've had," he said on the most recent episode of The Scoop. CME Group saw 388 contracts traded on the first full day of trading for the product, which was announced at the end of last year. That's about 19,000 ETH, or $33 million. The launch of ether futures followed the launch of bitcoin options at the end of 2019 and its bitcoin futures product in 2017.  At last check, open interest in CME's bitcoin futures product stood above $2 billion.  McCourt said that unlike products trading on other venues, CME's crypto products trade on a venue to which professional market participants are already connected. The firm's crypto products "widgets through the machine” in the same way as its thousands of other contracts, he said. "Your brokers are familiar. Your clearing members are familiar. So you don't have some of those barriers to enter that you have on the spot side." In this episode of The Scoop, McCourt unpacks the growth of CME's crypto products, the development of the overall crypto trading ecosystem, and what might come next for his company's crypto offerings.

This talk is from a panel I led on infrastructure in the crypto space at the Time Summit, by Bridge Alternatives, featuring Kayvon Pirestani of director of institutional sales at GDAX, Tim McCourt, CME Group’s managing director and global head of equity products and alternative investments, Michael Moro, CEO of Genesis Trading and Genesis Capital, and Hu Liang, founder and CEO of Omniex. We discussed what infrastructure tools need to be built to get institutional players comfortable with the space, how custodying a digital asset differs from custodying a traditional asset, why they can see institutional players dealing in stablecoins and trading on decentralized exchanges at some point in the future, and what needs to be built out in terms of trading infrastructure for institutional players. (Hint: it turns out Excel and Google Sheets are the biggest competitors for crypto trading infrastructure services.) We also talk about the challenges of building out infrastructure for trading that can suddenly double or quadruple in volume and for a market that runs 24/7/365.

In the CME hot seat for this episode, we have Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equity Products, CME Group. Topics this week include: QuikSkew Index Options Crude Oil/WTI Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments Question from A Joban - When are we gonna have weeky options expiring on every day of the trading week? So affectively I am asking when are we gonna have daily options? Question from StockAce - Does the CME Futures Institute offer options education as well? If not, can you recommend any good outlets that do futures options education? Question from AM85 - How can you guys tell, when you are looking at the reports, if a trade is opening or not?

The Best of the Long and Short of Futures Options We took a look a the best episodes from 2016 to pull our favorite segments and interviews, including: Akuna Capital at FIA Boca Derek Sammann at FIA Expo with Nick Howard Brexit; post-Election with Blu Putnam Weekly Wednesday with Tim McCourt

On this episode, Mark is joined by Blu Putnam, Chief Economist, CME Group and Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equity Products, CME Group. They discuss: What are some potential drivers of market volatility? Paper: Equity Volatility in 2016 and Beyond Paper: Calm Before the Volatility Storm in Equities? What are some potential drivers of volatility in the near future? Earnings season The election The Fed? What impact, if any, will these have on the broad equity markets? Rise of the Weeklies Why launch a Wednesday weekly? What additional value does this product bring to customers? Listener questions: Discussing what you want to know Question from Vegs - I am seeing lots of big fat options OI tied to the big ES 2200 strike. Does this mean big traders are betting that the S&P will rally past 2200? Can all of this open interest have the net effect of forcing the S&P to that strike at expiration? Do you view this open interest solely coming from pros or are retail reflected there as well? Question from TCal - I am a somewhat new oil options trader primarily in WTI. Over the last few months I have noticed that the majority of volume trades in the front month. This is particularly true in active weeks such as during the OPEC meeting. I have had success buying weekly options going into these events. But in these same active periods I have not seen the surge of activity in the weekly WTI that I expected. This is surprising given the similar interest in weeklies in most other option products. Is this a function of the large institutional presence in WTI options? Perhaps there is a nuance of the product that I am missing that is not conducive to weeklies? I would appreciate your insight into this. Thank you for producing so much great free programming on your network.

WELCOME BACK TO SEASON 2! This week we chat to Robert Valley, an animation director based in Canada. Robert has worked on a variety of projects from Aeon Flux, to The Gorillaz, to Tron Uprising. He has also produced comics and short films, including his Massive Swerve series, and his latest film, Pear Cider and Cigarettes. We talk to him about his career, including what it's like working with directors such as Peter Chung, Pete Candeland, and Alberto Mielgo. We get into the trials and tribulations of producing an independent animated film, and the story behind the film itself. Spoiler Alert! Watch “Pear Cider and Cigarettes” before listening to the conversation. You can find it at: vimeo.com/ondemand/pearciderandcigarettes BXFTYS Audio created our theme tune.
