Cboe is telling market makers that it's getting close to launching ether futures — and it could mark a big step in the crypto's evolution

Cboe, the exchange group behind the first market for bitcoin futures, is telling market makers that it is getting close to launching ether futures. The exchange is waiting on additional clarity from the CFTC, a person with knowledge of the situation said. 
The launch of ether futures on a US-regulated exchange would mark a significant step in ether's maturation as it could open the door to wider trading in the crypto and possibly an ETF.
