When BTCV9 stops trading
Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For BTCV9 that falls on October 26, 2029.
Senzoukria stops offering BTCV9 as the default contract on October 22, 2029, 4 calendar days before that last trading day, and keeps it selectable with a badge. The date is computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date that falls next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar. Check the exchange calendar when the date sits close to a holiday.
When the volume actually leaves
Crypto futures at CME expire monthly and settle against a reference rate rather than a physical asset. Liquidity concentrates in the front month and thins quickly once the roll has passed.
For BTCV9 the next listed delivery is BTCX9, whose last trading day is November 30, 2029. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of BTCU9 on September 24, 2029.
What one tick is worth on BTCV9
The minimum price fluctuation is 5, which is $25.00 per contract on a multiplier of 5. A full point is therefore $5.00. On a footprint chart one row is one tick, so the same vertical space holds a different number of rows depending on the product: a tick of 5 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of BTC can be read.
These are the values the app itself trades on, taken from its contract table rather than retyped, so the P&L shown on a BTCV9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every BTC delivery listed in 2029
BTC lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). BTCV9 is number 10 of 12 in 2029.

BTCV9 and MBTV9 side by side
BTC and MBT track the same underlying, but BTC is 50 times the size of MBT: $25.00 a tick against $0.50. Both quote on the same 5 tick. BTCV9 and MBTV9 share the same last trading day, October 26, 2029, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MBT lets a 50-contract position carry the same exposure as one BTC, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; BTC carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MBT.
