Overview

CME’s crypto derivatives push broadened again, with multiple reports pointing to a Feb. 9 launch window for new altcoin-linked futures. The core thread: CME is adding Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) contracts—framed as an expansion of its regulated crypto lineup—while a separate Cointelegraph post highlights CME also discussing a move toward 24/7 on-screen trading for crypto futures and options.
