CME Group plans to roll out cash-settled futures for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) on February 9, pending regulatory approval. The contracts will be available on CME Globex in both standard and micro sizes, giving traders flexible access to regulated altcoin exposure. CME says demand for crypto derivatives continues to grow, supported by strong 2025 market activity that saw record daily volumes and open interest, signaling rising institutional interest in major cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
