CBOE Website Crashes As Futures Trading Begins; Bitcoin Price Squeezed 10% Higher with Bitcoin! The Cboe’s website crashed within minutes of the CBOE open on Sunday – which also marked the launch of the first bitcoin futures to trade on a major exchange - while the price of a single bitcoin spiked 10% in five minutes as the new contract (bearing the ticker XBT) fluctuated wildly.
