On May 14, CME Group announced plans to launch Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures on June 8, pending regulatory review. This will be CME's first market-cap weighted crypto futures contract, available in both micro-sized and larger-sized contracts and settled in cash. The index tracks seven major crypto assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK and XLM. CME's global head of crypto products said average daily volume across its crypto futures suite is up 43 percent year-to-date, with institutional demand continuing to grow. This marks another major expansion in CME's crypto derivatives lineup, following the launch of Bitcoin Volatility futures on June 1.
