CME Website Error Fuels Speculation on XRP and Solana Futures Launch

Leaked beta page suggests February 10 launch, but CME confirms no official decisions have been made.

  • A beta page from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) website indicated plans for XRP and Solana (SOL) futures, with a potential launch date of February 10, pending regulatory approval.
  • CME clarified the leak as an error, stating that the beta environment includes mock-ups and no decisions have been finalized regarding these futures contracts.
  • The leaked page detailed contract specifications, including financially settled futures in USD and both standard and micro contract sizes for XRP and SOL.
  • XRP and SOL prices briefly rose by up to 3% following the leak but later pared some gains as speculation spread on social media.
  • If confirmed, the launch would represent a significant expansion of CME's crypto offerings, which currently include Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, potentially boosting institutional interest in these assets.
