CME Group has announced the introduction of a cash-settled Bitcoin volatility futures contract, set to launch on June 1, pending regulatory approval. This new product, based on the 30-day implied volatility index (BVX), will allow traders to hedge against Bitcoin volatility without taking a directional position on the cryptocurrency's price. The contract, coded as BVI, features a contract multiplier of $500 times the index value, offering enhanced risk management tools for market participants. In other news, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, indicated the company might sell some of its Bitcoin holdings to pay dividends. This move aims to inject market momentum and signal transaction completion. Strategy reported a net loss of $12.54 billion in Q1, largely due to a $14.46 billion impairment on its Bitcoin assets. Despite this, the company holds 818,334 Bitcoin, valued at $66.82 billion, with an average cost of $75,537 per Bitcoin.
