#CMEsolanaFutures
CME Group has announced plans to launch Solana (SOL) futures contracts on March 17, 2025, pending regulatory approval. This move aims to meet the growing demand for regulated cryptocurrency derivatives. The offering will include two contract sizes: a standard contract for 500 SOL and a micro-sized contract for 25 SOL. These cash-settled contracts will be based on the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate, providing a reliable daily reference for SOL’s USD price. This development is expected to enhance institutional participation and could pave the way for Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the future.

Following the announcement, Solana’s price experienced a significant uptick, reflecting positive market sentiment.
