Prices of payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP and the world’s most widely used blockchain Solana (SOL) rose Wednesday afternoon, following a report that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is adding futures contracts for both.
According to A mail On X, CME published a futures page for XRP and SOL in its “subdomain.”
A screenshot of the website shows that regulated futures could begin trading on February 10 pending regulatory approval. The site was not accessible at the time of publication. CoinDesk has reached out to CME for comment.
“We’ve seen a large number of ETF filings for SOL and “I expect the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to list those futures contracts next month assuming these issuers know something we don’t.”
TradingView data showed that XRP and SOL jumped as much as 3% in the minutes after the social media post began circulating.
Update (January 22, 10:09 UTC): Added comments from a Bloomberg ETF analyst.
