CME, Nasdaq launch crypto index futures spanning bitcoin to XRP
CME Group has begun trading cryptocurrency index futures developed jointly with Nasdaq. The product is CME’s first market-capitalisation-weighted crypto futures contract and is based on the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index, which includes eight cryptocurrencies: bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink and Stellar Lumens. The contracts come in full-size and micro versions and are cash-settled. CME also reported higher crypto derivatives volumes this year.
