Huobi’s derivative market was announced last month at the  Cryptofrontiers, a crypto conference that happened in New York. At the time, the company hinted at going live by the year-end. Notably, OKEx, the second largest crypto exchange in the world now have also launched their new derivative products.

OKEx’s new product line is a bit different as it offers a Perpetual Swap derivative, interestingly the swaps do not have expiration dates and are settled daily. Currently, they have an Ethereum, a Bitcoin, a BCH and BSV derivative live on their platform. The year-end does seem to be bringing merrier times for the market, however, all eyes are set for 2019 as both NASDAQ and the Baktt will be launching the bitcoin exchange funds in the Q1 itself.
