CME or Chicago Mercantile Exchange, an American global markets company, might be looking into offering Solana and Cardano futures contracts in the near future.

CME adding (SOL) and (ADA) futures

Payal Shah, the director of equity and cryptocurrency products at CME, confirmed that the firm is “looking into” providing futures contracts shortly at the CryptoCompare Digital Asset Summit which occurred in London.
“We’re looking at it,” said Shah in her statement at the CryptoCompare Digital Asset Summit. “We get a number of client requests for anything outside the top two—Solana, Cardano.”
It is important to note that these “altcoins” have made their way into the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the market and their popularity is no lesser than that of the world’s top two cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hence, it is natural that customers demand SOL and ADA-based futures from CME. 

On the other hand, Shah also pointed out that CME has two things that need to be figured out before releasing the SOL and ADA futures. Firstly, she said that “we need to know where to send the paperwork,” citing regulatory issues, and secondly, she also explained that the futures contracts of CME rely on the data of 5 different exchanges so that outage of one doesn’t affect the futures contract’s prices. 

Current offerings

Cryptonary has previously pointed out that CME has been involving itself with a number of crypto-based products. The exchange launched micro Ether futures on December 6 where the contract size will be much smaller, allowing for more precise trading. 

Moreover, it is also important to note that the exchange also confirmed the launch of micro Bitcoin futures in May last year. This micro future from CME aimed to cover 1/10th the price of 1 BTC.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
