NEW: SOL and Micro SOL Futures

March 17,2025 @05:00 AM

CME Group is offering traders the opportunity to expand their crypto trading strategy with the launch of Solana (SOL) futures on March 17, 2025. Traders also have the option to trade Micro SOL (MSL) for even greater precision and flexibility.

SOL futures will be cash-settled and based on the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate, which serves as a once-a-day reference rate of the U.S. dollar price of SOL and is calculated daily at 4:00 p.m. London time.

If you’ve considered trading cryptocurrency but prefer regulated products to help manage cryptocurrency price risk, the expanding suite of CME Group’s crypto futures may be the right fit for your trading strategy. The new Solana futures will be available alongside Bitcoin and Ether futures, micro futures and options futures.
