STOCKS RALLY: Here's what you need to know

Monday was the first day of trading for CME's bitcoin futures after the contracts launched Sunday night.

Stocks added to Friday's gains as the GOP tax plan continues to edge closer to President Donald Trump's desk. A report out Monday found the final bill to be "pro-growth" but not to the full effect that Republicans had promised. Lawmakers are expected to pass the final Tax Cuts and Jobs act on Wednesday.

CME's bitcoin futures launched Sunday night, and the cryptocurrency shot to all-time highs before ultimately settling lower. CME's launch follows a similar launch by Cboe a week ago.

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all posted gains on Monday.
