XRP, Solana Prices Rise After Report of Leaked CME Futures Addition

Payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP and world’s most-used blockchain Solana (SOL) prices spiked on Wednesday afternoon, after report that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is adding futures contracts of both.

According to a post on X, CME have posted the futures page for XRP and SOL in their “staging subdomain.”

A screenshot of the website shows that the regulated futures could start trading on Feb. 10 pending regulatory approval. The website was not accessible at the time of publication. CoinDesk reached out to CME for comments.
