CME Group Crypto Futures Suite Expands to 75% Market Coverage

CME Group has expanded its crypto futures suite to cover over 75% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization after launching contracts for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) on February 9.

The exchange achieved this milestone by calculating its coverage based on CoinMarketCap data as of February 13, 2026. This marks a significant growth in regulated institutional exposure to crypto since CME listed its first bitcoin futures in 2017.

CME's cryptocurrency products saw a record year in 2025, with average daily open interest across the full suite reaching approximately $26.4 billion. The exchange also plans to introduce a Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures product, targeted for March 16, pending regulatory approval.
