BTCZ8 expiry: December 29, 2028

When BTCZ8 stops trading

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For BTCZ8 that falls on December 29, 2028.

Senzoukria stops offering BTCZ8 as the default contract on December 25, 2028, 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.

BTCZ8 is the last 2028 delivery listed for BTC, so the volume moves into the first 2029 contract.

What one tick is worth on BTCZ8

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 BTCZ8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every BTC delivery listed in 2028

BTC lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). BTCZ8 is number 12 of 12 in 2028.

BTCZ8 and MBTZ8 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. BTCZ8 and MBTZ8 share the same last trading day, December 29, 2028, 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.
