CBOE would be much easier to pump/dump as it's only based on Gemini. CME futures are due the 26th, CBOE futures were due last Wednesday. You don't manipulate the futures price, you manipulate the current price of BTC... which is why BTC has been sitting around 10.7-11.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know future settlement is based on the actual price of BTC which is why I brought up how the CME is based on an index of different exchanges.
