When ETHZ6 stops trading

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For ETHZ6 that falls on December 25, 2026.

Senzoukria stops offering ETHZ6 as the default contract on December 21, 2026, 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.

ETHZ6 is the last 2026 delivery listed for ETH, so the volume moves into the first 2027 contract.

What one tick is worth on ETHZ6

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.5, which is $25.00 per contract on a multiplier of 50. A full point is therefore $50.00. 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 0.5 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of ETH 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 ETHZ6 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every ETH delivery listed in 2026

ETH lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). ETHZ6 is number 12 of 12 in 2026.

ETHZ6 and METZ6 side by side

ETH and MET track the same underlying, but ETH is 500 times the size of MET: $25.00 a tick against $0.05. Both quote on the same 0.5 tick. ETHZ6 and METZ6 share the same last trading day, December 25, 2026, so a position in either rolls on the same date.

The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MET lets a 500-contract position carry the same exposure as one ETH, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; ETH carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MET.
