FalconX and GSR executed the first block trade in CME Group's newly launched Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures. FalconX's Griffin Sears said institutional demand is extending beyond the largest digital assets to tokens with distinct use cases, while GSR's Xin Song said institutional-grade derivatives would boost adoption. The contracts extend CME's single-asset crypto suite, which already includes Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche and Sui futures. Year-to-date 2026 crypto futures and options ADV exceeds 242,000 contracts ($7.9 billion notional), with nearly $2 billion notional growth from the 2026 expansion.
