TeraExchange Announces First Bitcoin Derivative

TeraExchange has recently announced that it has created a swap involving the average exchange rate of bitcoin and plans to list it on its Swap Execution Facility.

This bitcoin derivative was created on behalf of two clients as a bilateral swap, and while neither party has acted upon the agreement, they are expected to soon, according to Reuters.

This agreement marks the first time a bitcoin derivative will be traded, and as such, it will be the first time the digital currency will come under regulation from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Bitcoin was created in 2009, with mainstream interest around the digital currency rising sharply over the last year.

A bitcoin derivative should prove to be an interesting swap to watch, as it has become rather notorious for its wild price fluctuations over the past few years. Just this December, Bitcoin’s value shot up to $1,200 and then quickly fell to $450. It is currently priced at around $500 dollars.
