Traditional banks continued to oppose cryptocurrencies not that long ago. Today, most of them are looking to get a piece of the pie in this industry.
JPMorgan, for example, has completely changed its opinion on bitcoin.

Whether the CME Bitcoin Options will attract similar interest, remains to be seen.
The launch of an extra product tied to cryptocurrency will always be somewhat risky.
Bitcoin and altcoins remain rather finicky, both in terms of pricing and overall investor appeal.
