CME Group is expanding its crypto futures offering by adding contracts linked to Cardano, Chainlink and Stellar, showing growing demand for regulated altcoin products in the United States. The Chicago-based exchange said the new futures are expected to launch on February 9, subject to regulatory approval.
These new contracts will join CME’s existing crypto products, which already include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and Solana. CME said investors are increasingly looking for regulated ways to gain exposure to digital assets without directly holding cryptocurrencies.
The exchange plans to offer both standard and smaller micro contracts. These will allow traders to manage risk or speculate on prices using different position sizes. The availability of micro contracts also makes the products more accessible to retail traders through supported brokers.
Market participants say crypto is becoming a regular part of investment portfolios. CME’s move comes as the US crypto futures market slowly expands beyond Bitcoin and Ether, with more regulated options emerging for other major digital assets.
