I don't see these contracts affecting the price in anyway. Everyone was expecting a price increase when CME and CBOE decided to introduce futures trading and when it happened, the price wasn't affected. I wouldn't put much hopes on it.
It shouldn't be a big deal to talk but considering cme contracts is one of the best way to promote how beneficial bitcoin investment .
I think it could attract more investor to come , hopefully. That's why some people have a big expectation about this.
So do i , won't put too much expectation , let the story flowing and i'll just holding.
