Hey guys,
Just came across this and it looks like Ethereum Futures haven't been "forgotten". I say that because back in December 2017 when Bitcoin Futures was launched it was said that Ethereum will follow very soon and that "months" would be too long...but it has now been just under 6 months) It looks like CME has been making progress on it and will be launching it soon. Whether this is a good thing or not I'll let you decide on that.
