BTC · report date 2026-07-28
Report note: the CFTC reports CME Bitcoin and Ether futures under the Traders in Financial Futures (TFF) scheme, so the trader groups below use the financial vocabulary — Leveraged Funds (the speculative read), Dealer/Intermediary, Asset Managers, and Other Reportables — not the Disaggregated commodity categories.
