CME Group announces that Solana (Sol) Futures will arrive in March
Over the past few months, the cryptocurrency market has grown exponentially. That’s not reflected in price performance, but there’s no shortage of policy overhauls set up to pay dividends in the long run. Throughout that process, Solana has emerged as a possibility in a changing regulatory environment.
As CME Group announced the imminent launch of Solana (Sol) Futures, it received another big push on Friday as hopes for cryptocurrency ETFs are flooded. In fact, the world’s largest futures exchange is set to debut the arrival of its Solana-based futures contract in March.
“The launch of new Sol futures contracts will meet the growing demand for clients for broader regulated products to manage price increases in cryptocurrency,” said Giovanni Vicioso, global head of cryptocurrency products at CME Group.
“As Solana continues to evolve into a platform of choice for developers and investors, these new futures contracts provide capital-efficient tools to support investment and hedging strategies,” he added. Conversely, the new Sol Future Contracts are cash set, the press release said. Additionally, they are based on the platform’s daily CF Solana Dollar reference rate.
