Open interest on CME Group’s Bitcoin futures markets — the classic institutional venue for BTC derivatives — passed that of Binance for the first time this week. For Tapiero, this is a watershed moment. “Now begins the renewed drumbeat of ‘ institutional adoption’ of Bitcoin,” he announced on Nov. ...
