According to the source, Cboe plans to list continuous futures for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), offering ongoing exposure without fixed expirations and providing a regulated alternative to offshore perpetual swaps (source). According to the source, the structure is trading-relevant because it can concentrate liquidity at a single tenor, reduce explicit roll slippage, and improve spot-futures basis efficiency for cash-and-carry, spread, and hedging strategies in BTC and ETH (source).
