CME Group, the leading derivatives marketplace, will introduce Solana (SOL) futures on March 17, pending regulatory approval.

This expansion beyond Bitcoin and Ether derivatives includes two contract sizes tailored to investor demand. The move coincides with recent Solana ETF filings, indicating increased institutional interest and a possible path to spot ETF approvals.

What’s the Scoop?

  • Contract Options: Solana futures will be available in micro (25 SOL) and larger (500 SOL) contract sizes.
  • Institutional Momentum: Asset managers such as Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have filed for spot Solana ETFs, acknowledging the SEC's interest.
  • Regulation and Approval: The launch increases prospects for spot ETF approval, as futures markets often precede approval of spot ETFs.
