CME Group, a leading derivatives marketplace, has announced plans to introduce Solana (SOL) futures contracts on March 17, 2025, pending regulatory approval. This move aims to meet the growing demand for diversified cryptocurrency derivatives.
Key Details:
Contract Sizes: Two options will be available—a standard contract for 500 SOL and a micro-sized contract for 25 SOL.
Settlement: These futures will be cash-settled, based on the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate, which provides a daily reference rate of the U.S. dollar price of Solana.
The introduction of Solana futures is expected to enhance market liquidity and provide traders with new opportunities to hedge and speculate on SOL's price movements. This development could also pave the way for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Solana, as several asset management firms have already filed for regulatory approval to launch such products.
As of February 28, 2025, Solana (SOL) is trading at $145.33, reflecting a 4.22% increase from the previous close. The intraday high is $147.20, and the intraday low is $125.99.
Stay tuned for further updates as CME Group expands its cryptocurrency offerings to meet the evolving needs of market participants.
