新的交易数据周三显示，随着机构交易者增加对数字资产的影响，CME的加密衍生品活动在4月飙升。

The global derivatives marketplace saw average daily volumes in its crypto contracts surge to 183,000—or $8.9 billion in notional value.

全球衍生品市场的平均每日量在其加密合同飙升至183,000，或89亿美元的名义价值。

Compared to the same period in 2024, this represents a 129% year-over-year increase and signals accelerating institutional participation in crypto-linked instruments.

与2024年的同一时期相比，这代表同比增长129％，并信号加速了机构参与与加密货币互联仪器的参与。

Ether contracts emerged as the fastest-growing segment. Standard ether futures volumes climbed 239% to average 14,000 contracts daily, while micro ether futures saw a 165% rise to 63,000 contracts. Micro bitcoin futures also posted a 115% increase to reach 78,000 daily contracts.

以太合同成为增长最快的细分市场。标准的以太期货量增加了239％，每天平均14,000个合同，而微醚期货则增加了165％，达到63,000个合同。微比特币期货还增加了115％，达到78,000份每日合同。

CME’s larger futures contracts are tied to full units—5 BTC or 50 ETH—while its micro futures allow more granular exposure at just one-tenth of those amounts, making them popular among smaller institutions and active traders.

CME的较大期货合约与全单位（5 BTC或50 ETH）相关，而其微型期货则允许在仅有的十分之一的粒状敞口，使它们在较小的机构和活跃的交易者中受欢迎。
