Cme Group Plans to Launch Solana Futures on March 17
CME Group is set to launch futures contracts on cryptocurrency Solana on March 17, pending regulatory review, as the exchange responds to growing client demand for regulated products to manage price risk. The debut of two contracts - one for 500 Solana coins and a micro-sized contract for 25 Solana - would clear the way for approvals of exchange-traded funds tied to Solana. A successful launch could provide significant confidence to regulators, increasing the likelihood of approval.
