Key Takeaways
- • CME Group scheduled Uniswap (UNI) futures to debut for the Monday, October 19, 2026 trade date, with standard contracts covering 10,000 UNI and micro contracts covering 1,000 UNI, subject to completion of regulatory review periods.
- • Bitcoin Cash futures will launch alongside UNI, with standard contracts covering 250 BCH and micro contracts covering 25 BCH.
- • UNI traded at $6.83 after falling 4.75% over 24 hours, with CoinMarketCap reporting $316,080,451 in daily volume and a market capitalization of $4,264,714,759.
- • The 14-period RSI at 30.31 sits just above the oversold threshold, and MACD readings remain bearish, so the chart's $7.00 to $7.20 rebound scenario is unconfirmed.
- • CME reported crypto futures and options averaged $15.4 billion in open interest in the first half of 2026, per a September 22 press release.
Summary
Uniswap's token traded at $6.83 ahead of CME Group's planned launch of UNI futures for the October 19, 2026 trade date, according to The Coin Republic. The token fell 4.75% over 24 hours, and hourly momentum indicators pointed to weak buying pressure before the scheduled listing. CoinMarketCap data cited in the report showed $316,080,451 in daily trading volume, a market capitalization of $4,264,714,759, and 624,740,422 UNI in circulation, ranking the token 22nd.
CME's notice scheduled the contracts for Sunday, October 18, corresponding to the Monday, October 19 trade date, but made the timing subject to completion of regulatory review periods. The standard UNI contract represents 10,000 tokens and the micro version covers 1,000 UNI. Bitcoin Cash futures will debut alongside them, with standard contracts covering 250 BCH and micro contracts covering 25 BCH. CME already lists futures on Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche, and Sui. A September 22 CME Group press release stated that its crypto futures and options averaged $15.4 billion in open interest during the first half of 2026, and that this year's listings of Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche, and Sui contributed more than $1 billion in total contract value.
On the technical side, the report identifies support between $6.75 and $6.80 on the hourly chart. Holding that zone supports a conditional recovery toward $7.00, with $7.20 possible if momentum improves; a break below support would weaken that setup, and the chart sets no lower target. The 14-period RSI stood at 30.31, close to the conventional oversold level of 30, and below its smoothing average of 41.65. MACD also remained bearish, with the MACD line at −0.0865 below the signal line at −0.0497 and a histogram reading of −0.0368. The article notes that a bullish crossover and rising RSI would strengthen the recovery case, but that neither had been confirmed in the data at the time of publication.
