CME Group Plans Avalanche and Sui Futures, Pending Regulatory Approval

ChainCatcher reported that CME Group said on April 7 it intends to introduce futures tied to Avalanche and Sui, subject to regulatory approval. The new products are expected to come in both standard and micro contract sizes, aiming to improve capital efficiency and give traders greater flexibility in positioning. Micro contracts generally carry lower margin requirements, broadening access for retail and institutional market participants. The planned launch would further extend CME Group's crypto derivatives suite, which already features Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP futures, underscoring the exchange's push to expand its footprint in digital-asset derivatives.
