CME has derivates. As do several other exchanges. Some argue that the derivates are actually part of driving price movements these days, but it's not the consensus yet.
Interesting take, BTW - I don't see it as impossible. There's some possibility this is the greatest trojan horse ever (unless it was just inevitable just like the internet was).
Derivatives are typically leading crypto spot markets (although recently it flipped for a while) It's been that way for a few years. I'm talking Bitmex, Binance derivatives, not CME.
