CGS International Futures Malaysia (CGS MYF) has introduced the first publicly available CME Crypto Futures contracts in Malaysia, offering traders and investors access to Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, the company announced.
The launch makes CGS International Securities Malaysia (CGS MY) the first licensed derivatives broker in the country to provide access to CME Group’s crypto futures, expanding the range of globally recognized financial instruments available to local investors.
CME Group operates one of the world’s largest derivatives exchanges.
The introduction of these contracts allows traders to gain exposure to digital assets without direct ownership, providing an alternative avenue for those seeking to manage risk and capitalize on market movements.
The futures contracts, which include Bitcoin, Micro Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Micro Ethereum contracts, are cash-settled and traded within a regulated environment.
The move comes amid rising institutional interest in cryptocurrencies, despite a broader downturn in digital asset markets.
Institutional investors increasingly view crypto futures as a tool for hedging and diversification, reducing exposure to the volatility and security risks associated with spot trading.
CGS MYF aims to leverage its network and infrastructure to support sophisticated traders looking to engage with digital assets while maintaining regulatory safeguards.
The firm’s offering provides Malaysian investors with access to structured and transparent instruments at lower trading fees compared to direct cryptocurrency transactions.
The company continues to expand its suite of trading products, catering to corporates, institutions, businesses, and retail clients.
Its parent company, China Galaxy Securities, serves over 15 million customers globally, with operations spanning more than 15 countries.
CGS MY’s broader offerings include equities trading, leveraged products, wealth management, investment banking, equities research, Shariah-compliant financing, fixed income, currency and commodities, structured products, and prime brokerage services.
