CME launches spot-quoted XRP and Solana futures contracts

Foresight News reported that CME Group has announced the launch of spot-quoted XRP and Solana (SOL) futures contracts, supplementing its existing spot-quoted Bitcoin and Ethereum futures products. CME stated that these contracts are priced based on spot prices and feature longer-term expiration dates, which can reduce the need for frequent rollovers. The contract size is the smallest among its crypto product line, targeting a broader range of retail and professional traders. CME disclosed that since the launch of spot-quoted BTC and ETH futures in June, more than 1.3 million contracts have been traded in total, with demand continuing to grow.
