Promote with Leviathan NewsCME Group, the major US-regulated derivatives marketplace, has announced plans to launch options on Solana (SOL) and XRP futures on 13 October 2025, subject to regulatory approval. The new suite will cover both standard and micro contracts on SOL and XRP futures and will offer daily, monthly, and quarterly expiries, significantly expanding the listed options universe for these two large-cap cryptoassets. The products are designed to serve a broad range of market participants, from institutions to active individual traders, as an additional tool for hedging, risk management, and trading strategies in Solana and XRP. This launch continues CME Groupβs strategy of building out a regulated crypto derivatives complex beyond Bitcoin and Ether, leveraging existing SOL and XRP futures contracts already listed on the exchange. By offering options in two contract sizes (standard and micro), CME aims to provide more granular exposure and capital efficiency, which may be particularly relevant for proprietary trading firms, crypto-native market makers, and asset managers seeking to hedge spot or futures positions in these networks. The initiative also underscores the ongoing institutionalization of non-Bitcoin, non-Ether digital assets, with Solana and XRP being treated as sufficiently liquid and mature to support listed derivatives at a major US venue, pending the necessary regulatory sign-off.
