CME: Cryptocurrency Market Data Channel Launch and Market Segment Update

May 1

On Sunday, May 1 to support increased client demand for cryptocurrency futures and options products, CME will launch two new dedicated cryptocurrency market data channels. In conjunction with the cryptocurrency channel migration the market segment ID will update for MDP 3.0, MSGW iLink and MSGW Drop Copy. This update will not impact data licensing and entitlement requirements. With the launch, the following cryptocurrency products and associated spreads will be migrated to the new channels:

• Bitcoin Futures
• Ether Futures
• Micro Bitcoin Futures
• Micro Ether Futures
• BTIC on Bitcoin Futures
• BTIC on Ether Futures
• BTIC on Micro Bitcoin Futures
• BTIC on Micro Ether Futures
• Options on Bitcoin Futures

For migration, the impacted UDS Option GTC/GTD orders will be canceled at the end of day Friday, April 29th.

Customers who want to trade these products should ensure they have a MSGW iLink3 connection in User Setup for Market Segment 74. (Please note: In User Setup this connection type is currently called “MSGW iLink 3: NYMEX SEF (74).” This is different than the connection type currently called “MSGW iLink3: BMD Futures and Options (74)”, which still requires a dedicated iLink3 for trading Bursa Malaysia products. In the near future, all User Setup connection types will be labeled by Market Segment ID only to avoid confusion.
