Physically secure Futures, with which institutional investors in the Bitcoin rate bets – this should also rinse the big money in the Ecosystem. But far from it: at the moment it looks more as money leaves the market. As we explain here, there was, in this context, it appears that some misguided expectations. But there are also suspicions that go in a completely different direction.

According to an analysis of Arcane Research, there is evidence that by the Bitcoin Futures the price of Bitcoin is manipulated consciously, but at least is affected.
