CME Group has launched spot-quoted futures contracts for XRP and Solana, adding to its existing spot-quoted Bitcoin and Ether offerings. The new contracts allow investors to trade futures priced in spot-market terms while benefiting from longer-dated expiries that reduce the need for frequent position rolling.
The exchange said demand for its spot-quoted crypto products has been strong since their June launch, with more than 1.3 million Bitcoin and Ether contracts traded to date. Average daily volumes accelerated through the fourth quarter, reflecting growing institutional and retail engagement with regulated crypto derivatives.
By adding XRP and SOL, CME is broadening access to smaller-sized contracts designed for greater precision and accessibility. The move underscores CME’s strategy of integrating digital assets into its core derivatives platform, positioning crypto alongside equity index, rates, and commodities products within a regulated market structure.
