Quite interesting, but it's a product coming with far too much risk. If people are so interested in Bitcoin's volatility, let them trade against the volatility, which is a far better alternative. Even if you happen to experience a few bad trades, the negative consequences are far less severe compared to when you lose out with futures. I am more interested in banks actually allowing people to directly buy Bitcoin from within their online banking portal. No more waiting for a few working days to pass, no annoying verification situations, etc.

Swiss bank Vontobel said it will start trading Switzerland’s first two mini futures to short bitcoin on Friday, giving investors a tool to bet against the value of the volatile cryptocurrency or to hedge bitcoin positions
