CME is expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives product line to launch Solana and XRP futures options, which are expected to be officially listed on October 13, 2025, subject to regulatory approval. This move stems from strong demand from institutional investors. Since the launch of Solana and XRP futures earlier this year, their trading volumes have exceeded 540,000 Solana contracts (nominal value of $22.3 billion) and 370,000 XRP contracts (nominal value of $16.2 billion). The new options will be available in standard and micro scales with daily, monthly and quarterly expiration dates, providing traders with greater risk management and strategic diversification flexibility.
