CME Clarifies Incorrect Announcement on XRP and SOL Futures Contracts Launch Date

On January 23, COINOTAG News reported that a spokesperson from the CME Group addressed an erroneous publication regarding XRP and SOL futures contracts. Eleanor Terrett from FOX shared that the information, initially found on the CME’s Beta website, has since been removed, indicating no official confirmation has been made about the contracts’ upcoming launch. Notably, previous statements highlighted by Cointelegraph suggested a potential launch date of February 10, 2025, contingent on regulatory approval. The site specified that the standard contract for SOL would be set at 500 SOL, with a micro variant of 25 SOL; conversely, XRP futures would comprise a standard contract size of 50,000 XRP and a micro version of 2,500 XRP. It’s important to note that all contracts would be denominated in USD, emphasizing the CME’s ongoing commitment to transparency and accuracy in reporting.
