Futures linked to cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin may have just gotten a step closer to reality.

Cboe Global Markets Inc., which introduced Bitcoin futures in December, finished upgrading the technology at its futures exchange over the weekend, according to a statement Tuesday. President Chris Concannon said on Jan. 17 that while it makes sense to bring derivatives to other digital currencies, his company wouldn’t act until the Cboe Futures Exchange’s software was overhauled. That’s done now.
