CME lists cash-settled AVAX and SUI futures; 24/7 crypto derivatives trading begins May 29
CME Group (@CMEGroup) on Monday launched cash-settled futures tied to Avalanche (@avax) and Sui (@SuiNetwork), following an April 7 announcement.
AVAX futures are sized at 5,000 tokens, with micro contracts at 500 tokens. SUI futures are sized at 50,000 tokens, with micro contracts at 5,000 tokens. Both products clear through CME's existing infrastructure and settle against CME CF Reference Rates.
The listings expand CME's altcoin suite, which now includes avalanche2:native, sui:native, $SOL, $ADA, $LINK, and $XLM alongside Bitcoin and Ether.
CME said that starting May 29, all of its crypto futures and options will shift to continuous 24/7 trading to align with always-on spot markets. While CME listing does not guarantee price stability, it adds AVAX and SUI to the same risk-management toolkit macro funds use for bitcoin:native and ethereum:native.
