CME Group, a leading derivatives marketplace, has officially launched regulated options for Solana (SOL) and XRP. The move marks another major milestone for institutional crypto adoption.
CME Group announced the launch on X, stating, “CFTC-regulated options on Solana and XRP are now live and trading today.”
These new options are physically settled into the underlying futures contracts. This way, they provide traders with flexible exposure through both standard and micro-sized contracts.

In addition, this setup allows investors to hedge or speculate on the price movements of SOL and XRP under a regulated environment.] By that, it offers more security and transparency.
Strengthening Institutional Access to Crypto
CME Group’s latest move expands its suite of crypto derivatives. The company’s portfolio already includes products for Bitcoin and Ethereum. As a CFTC-regulated exchange, CME offers a home institutions seeking compliant and liquid exposure to digital assets.
The launch of Solana and XRP options also highlights growing demand for altcoin derivatives. It signals that institutional players are becoming more interested in trading beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
