Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange, LLC, explained that Tezos now has a regulated US futures market that matches its strong infrastructure. He said the crypto setup helps traders discover real market prices and manage all their digital asset positions under one margin system.

He also noted that having a CFTC-regulated market with trading history meets key SEC requirements for potential spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) listings.

Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, added, “US-regulated futures are the backbone of commodity markets. Their arrival for tez (XTZ) reflects the growing maturity of Tezos and enables mature price discovery and risk transfer, supporting broader institutional participation".

The new futures contract joins Bitnomial’s Crypto Complex, which includes the widest range of digital asset derivatives available in the US.
