CME Group to offer cardano, chainlink, stellar futures as institutions seek regulated risk-management tools

The CME Group has announced its intention to introduce futures contracts for popular cryptocurrencies such as Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar. This move comes in response to the increasing demand from institutional investors who are actively seeking regulated tools for risk management in the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape. By providing these futures products, the CME Group aims to facilitate greater participation from institutional players, enabling them to hedge their positions and manage their exposure to the price volatility associated with these cryptocurrencies. source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/01/16/cme-group-to-offer-cardano-chainlink-stellar-futures-as-institutions-seek-regulated-risk-management-tools
