CME Group Launches Spot-Priced XRP and SOL Futures

CME Group has introduced spot-priced XRP and SOL futures contracts on December 15, expanding its cryptocurrency offerings, which already include Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, for U.S. market trading.

This launch offers increased trading options and flexibility, indicating growing institutional interest in diverse cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially affecting market dynamics and investor strategies.

Spot-Priced Contracts Bolster Trading on XRP and SOL

CME Group announced the launch of spot-priced XRP and SOL futures contracts, effective from December 15, 2025. These contracts add to its existing Bitcoin and Ethereum offerings.

The new futures allow trading on spot market terms with longer expiration dates, eliminating the need for periodic rollovers.

Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products, CME Group, stated, “We’ve seen strong demand for our current Spot-Quoted Bitcoin and Ether futures, with more than 1.3 million contracts traded since launched in June, and we are pleased to add XRP and SOL to our offering.”

XRP Trading Volume Surges to $3.37 Billion

Did you know? XRP and SOL futures are now traded alongside major U.S. equity index futures, offering seamless navigation for traders.

As reported by CoinMarketCap, XRP is trading at $1.89 with a substantial trading volume of 3.37 billion, reflecting a 140.53% change. Despite a recent decline, XRP maintains a market cap of 114.28 billion.

Coincu research team suggests continued technological improvements in both XPR and SOL networks could yield positive outcomes in futures trading. The analysis highlights the importance of adaptability in navigating regulatory impacts.
