The CME started the Bitcoin futures contracts on Sunday just one week after the Bitcoin began trading on CBOE.
Bitcoin CME futures hit $20,000 in opening trade but soon sellers pushed the price lower due to profit taking.
After the Bitcoin futures opened above the $20,000 mark, it failed to sustain the buying frenzy. In the spot market, however, bitcoin rose to a record of $19,891 yesterday before falling to a low of $18,200.
