Neikei futures were available for trade on cme in sept 1988. (They were available in smaller markets earlier). The cme version came out in 1989. From sept 1988 to dec 1989 neikki increased 40 pct. then crashed and has never regained the peak.
We could see a similar 40 pct move in bitcoin when futures launch around dec 10th but watch out. At 11k and change we could repeat history.
This is not a prediction so much as warning to those that think futures are only positive.
