CME集团是世界上最大的衍生品市场，计划于3月17日推出Solana（Sol）期货合约

CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, announced its intention to launch Solana (SOL) futures on Friday, March 17, expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives offerings.

世界领先的衍生品市场CME集团宣布打算在3月17日星期五推出Solana（Sol）期货，扩大其加密货币衍生品产品。

The new contracts, subject to regulatory approval, will allow traders to hedge or speculate on SOL price movements with two contract sizes: 25 SOL and 500 SOL.

预先获得法规批准的新合同将允许交易者对冲或推测具有两个合同规模的溶胶价格变动：25 SOL和500 SOL。

“We continue to see strong client appetite for a broader set of cryptocurrency products in response to the evolving market trends,” said Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group’s Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products.

CME Group全球加密货币产品负责人Giovanni Vicioso表示：“我们继续看到对不断发展的市场趋势的更广泛的加密货币产品的兴趣。”

The contracts will be cash-settled using the CME CF Solana-Dollar Reference Rate, which tracks SOL’s price at 4:00 p.m. London time daily.

合同将使用CME CF Solana-tollar参考率进行现金分配，该参考率在伦敦每天下午4:00跟踪Sol的价格。

CME Group already offers bitcoin and ether futures, which have seen substantial growth in trading activity. The firm reported an average daily volume of 202,000 contracts this year, a 73% increase compared to 2024.

CME Group已经提供了比特币和以太期货，这些期货在交易活动中已经大幅增长。该公司报告今年平均每日卷为202,000份合同，比2024年增加了73％。

Industry leaders view this move as a step toward greater institutional adoption of crypto.

行业领导人认为这一举动是迈向加密货币的更大机构采用的一步。

“CME’s crypto derivatives offerings have helped pave the way for a new generation of regulated financial products, including crypto ETFs, which track the underlying digital assets in a passively managed portfolio,” said Teddy Fusaro, president of Bitwise Asset Management.

Bitwise Asset Management的总裁Teddy Fusaro说：“ CME的加密衍生品产品为新一代受监管的金融产品铺平了道路，其中包括加密ETF，该产品在被动管理的投资组合中跟踪基础数字资产。”

Kyle Samani, founding partner at Multicoin Capital, added that such products provide sophisticated investors with more options to manage their risk and exposure to cryptocurrencies.

Multicoin Capital的创始合作伙伴Kyle Samani补充说，此类产品为先进的投资者提供了更多选择，以管理其风险和对加密货币的风险。

Solana has gained popularity among developers and investors for its high throughput and low transaction fees.

索拉纳（Solana）因其高通量和低交易费用而在开发商和投资者中广受欢迎。

The addition of SOL futures to CME's existing offerings underscores the growing demand for regulated crypto trading products. It could also open the door for SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

在CME现有产品中增加了Sol Futures，这突显了对受监管的加密货币交易产品不断增长的需求。它还可以为Sol Exchange Fraded Funds（ETF）打开大门，以获得证券交易委员会（SEC）的批准。

"CME’s decision to list SOL contracts today significantly increases the possibility that corresponding spot ETF applications could be approved in the foreseeable future," said Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks.

CF基准首席执行官Sui Chung表示：“ CME今天列出SOL合同的决定大大增加了在可预见的将来可以批准相应的ETF应用程序的可能性。”

"While an exact timeline for approval is hard to discern, it’s probable the SEC will want to see several months’ worth of trading on the CME and be satisfied that the futures correlate with the spot market before it looks to approve ETF applications for SOL."

“尽管确切的批准时间表很难辨别，但SEC可能希望看到数月的CME交易价值，并满足于期货与现货市场相关，然后才能批准SOL的ETF申请。”
