CME Group Adds Cardano, Chainlink and Stellar Futures to Regulated Crypto Lineup
On 10 February 2026, CME Group rolled out regulated futures contracts linked to Cardano, Chainlink and Stellar, extending its crypto derivatives suite beyond existing offerings. The launch introduces both standard and micro-sized contracts, giving institutional and active retail traders more options for hedging and portfolio positioning. These products are framed as market infrastructure designed to support risk transfer and liquidity rather than direct short-term price drivers.
