FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from Desanya - Can you get the dairy folks on the show from CME? Also is CME planning to list more crypto anytime soon?

Question from LDC - There are rumors that CFTC is looking to approve ether futures. Can we expect an Eth offering from CME anytime soon?

Question from McIge - Has anyone ever put out an index with the top 5 or 10 names by market cap in the respective indices. Seems like you could get the lion's share of the move in big indices like SPY or SPX with just a few names.
