CME Group, the leading derivatives marketplace, is set to introduce Solana (SOL) futures on March 17, according to Reuters.
This move expands its cryptocurrency offerings, allowing traders to engage with both micro (25 SOL) and standard (500 SOL) contracts.
Giovanni Vicioso, who oversees cryptocurrency products at CME, emphasized that the new futures cater to rising demand for regulated tools to navigate crypto market risks.
He noted that Solana’s growing adoption among developers and investors makes it an ideal addition, offering traders a more efficient way to manage exposure and hedge positions.
