CME Group has clarified that no official decision has been made regarding the launch of futures contracts for Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP). This comes after the accidental publication of related information on the beta version of its website, which included specifications for the contracts and a tentative launch date of February 10. However, a spokesperson confirmed that no official decision had been made about launching these crypto futures contracts, and the website information was sent in error.
The news caused a slight pullback in the prices of both altcoins. At press time, Solana’s trading price stood at $249.61, reflecting a 1.79% decline over the past 24 hours, while XRP was priced at $3.16, down by 0.98%. Despite the clarification, optimism regarding the potential launch of XRP and Solana futures remained high within the crypto community.
While the CME Group’s error has temporarily tempered excitement, the crypto community remains hopeful for future developments in this space. Additionally, there has been a notable rise in cryptocurrency ETF applications following this incident, indicating sustained interest and activity in the crypto market.
