Solana futures finish first trading day on CME 📈

Solana (SOL) futures made their debut on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), marking the first regulated Solana futures in the US market.

Traders can choose between standard contracts and retail-friendly “micro” contracts. The introduction comes amid Solana's increasing adoption and the anticipation of the US Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of spot Solana ETFs by May.

Early trading showed a potentially bearish sentiment on SOL, with future contracts totaling nearly $5 million changing hands.

The move is seen as a step towards greater mainstream acceptance and financial innovation.
