Could you please elaborate on what CME Bitcoin Futures are and how they operate within the cryptocurrency and finance landscape? I'm curious to understand how these futures contracts differ from traditional financial futures and what role they play in enabling investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin's price movements. Do they require any specific qualifications or procedures for participation? Additionally, what are the potential risks and benefits associated with trading CME Bitcoin Futures?
