CME has added the XRP and SOL futures page to its preparation subdomains. The page states that XRP and SOL futures will be available on February 10th pending regulatory review. It appears that they are preparing for the official announcement.
These monthly, financially adjusted futures will be available in two contract sizes, the website said, so traders can scale exposure with greater precision and flexibility. The new futures contracts will feature BTIC and block functionality at launch.
Last year, Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick said SOL and XRP ETFs could gain approval as early as 2025. This week, JPMorgan analysts predicted that if approved, the ETFs could attract up to $13.6 billion in new investment in six to 12 months.
Determining whether Solana is classified as a commodity or security will play a key role in the ETF approval process.
