CME's existing suite covers Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche and Sui. CME said its crypto futures and options averaged 279,800 contracts daily in H1 2026, worth $8.3 billion notional, with this year's altcoin expansion generating over $1 billion notional. Crypto product lead Giovanni Vicioso said the contracts let clients manage price risk within CME's 24/7 regulated marketplace, launched in June.
