Scoured CME's site and did a quick google search. Anyone know where to trade the futures starting Dec 10th?

I have doubts it will launch this year (and have orders waiting at low levels to pick up cheap Bitcoins, for when postpone news hits the wire).

It's still "pending approval" so you are right to be cautious.

Also on Sept 27th 2017 which wasn't that long ago... “I really don’t see us going forward with a futures contract in the very near future.” Bryan Durkin, president of Chicago-based CME https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...coin-futures-on-biggest-exchange-anytime-soon

In the meantime, GBTC is liquid and tradeable -- though shorting can be an issue, especially at IB.
