With a notional $1 trillion-plus in CME Bitcoin and Ether futures settled by CF Benchmarks indices since their launch, our partnership is one of the most pivotal in crypto.

Meanwhile, after the Solana futures debut in March, and with the launch of XRP futures coming next week, the leading derivatives marketplace continues to play a critical and growing role in the evolution of the digital asset class.

It's why we're stoked to welcome Brian Burke, CFA, senior director overseeing crypto options at CME Group, as our extra special guest on the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast!

A few of many enlightening talking points:

• 'Crypto VIX' Futures? - With global market volatility in the news, how close are we to CME Bitcoin volatility futures?
• Quicker Roadmap - how increasing regulatory clarity, rising market maturity, and falling information asymmetry are driving a faster cadence of crypto derivative launches - and what to expect next
• Solana Surprise - SOL futures volumes and open interest are outpacing expectations: what's behind the momentum?
• 'Proto Perps' imminent - With smaller contract sizes and super-long dated expiries, how upcoming Spot Quoted Futures (SQF) can fill the retail gap even more - and why institutional players are interested too

In this episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets, we break down CFB Research's Q2 2025 Market Outlook, “The New Equilibrium: Unraveling Economic Tension & Thematic Tailwinds."

From stubborn inflation and global growth uncertainty to proactive regulatory shifts and strengthening structural themes, the quarter ahead is defined by both tension and opportunity. We explore how digital assets are being shaped by overlapping forces: macroeconomic crosscurrents, legislative momentum, and evolving investor preferences.

Sample highlights ↓

* The shift in US trade policy and what it means for the path of monetary policy

* How pending legislation could set US issuers to dominate the stablecoin landscape

* Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade and what it means for the network going forward

*Why we anticipate the value factor to outperform going forward, and what CFB's factor model tells us about last quarter's move

* Bitcoin’s correlation with global M2 and the potential for a liquidity-driven move in Q2

If you’re looking to make sense of an investment landscape at a critical inflection point—this is your guide to the themes that matter.

* How existing investors are moving beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to explore the ‘crypto sleeve’ - diversified crypto portfolios, and why that trend is set to prevail.

- Also, why 60/30/10 is optimal

* Why markets are still over-discounting the significance of Washington’s proposed Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
