CME futures is the writing on the wall.<\/p>\n

They wouldn\u2019t launch an $ETH<\/a> product if there wasn\u2019t any demand for it.<\/p>\n

The expert believes that after accumulating Bitcoin, institutional investors may be more open to considering other cryptocurrencies as potential investments.<\/p>\n

Ethereum futures on CME start on 8 February<\/a> 2021. The CME launched futures for the first cryptocurrency in December 2017.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Pantera Capital chief executive predicted that Ethereum would outpace Bitcoin<\/a> in growth, citing the launch of phase zero of the second version of the protocol.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Messari analysts expressed confidence that the Ethereum network would remain out of reach<\/a> for competitors thanks to the deployment of a layer-two solution based on Rollups.<\/p>\n
