Bitcoin Cash price stands at 269.98 USD as CME plans BCH futures

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) stands at 269.98 USD as of October 16, 2026, while CME Group plans standard and micro futures tied to BCH. The Bitcoin Cash price is down 1.20 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026, according to Investing.com.

CME outlines 250 BCH and 25 BCH contracts

CME Group plans to offer standard and micro Bitcoin Cash futures, according to CoinDesk. Futures are contracts that track an underlying asset and settle under defined exchange rules. The planned BCH products remain subject to regulatory review, the report said.

The standard contract covers 250 BCH, while the micro contract covers 25 BCH, according to PANews. The two contract sizes would give market participants different exposure levels without changing the supply or transaction rules of the Bitcoin Cash network.

Futures plan meets a 5.71 percent weekly move

Bitcoin Cash is down 5.71 percent over seven days and up 5.68 percent over one month, according to Investing.com. The same data page shows a year-to-date decline of 55.00 percent, placing the current price within a market that has recorded wider moves across several reference periods.

The regulatory review attached to the futures plan is a counterpoint to the contract announcement, according to CoinDesk. A futures product would be a derivatives instrument rather than a change to Bitcoin Cash issuance, mining or block validation.
