Leaked CME page hints at XRP, SOL futures launching next month
CME Group may launch futures contracts for Solana (SOL) and XRP, as indicated by social media reports and images shared on January 22. No official confirmation or denial from CME Group has been made regarding the authenticity of these images. A pre-launch is scheduled for February 10. The proposed Solana futures contract size is 500 SOL, with a micro version of 25 SOL. The XRP futures contract is sized at 50,000 XRP, with a micro version of 2,500 XRP. Analysts express skepticism about the authenticity of the images but acknowledge that futures contracts for these assets are expected. Additionally, an ETF tracking SOL futures could debut by mid-March, despite questions about demand due to an anticipated spot SOL ETF. The US market is seeing numerous crypto-related ETF filings, with 33 ETFs currently awaiting SEC approval, including those for XRP, SOL, and various memecoins.
