CME Group, a derivatives exchange, is reportedly considering launching futures contracts for XRP and Solana (SOL), although no concrete plans have been made. The release of screenshots suggesting the upcoming futures contracts prompted speculation, especially as the SEC has named SOL as a security and is appealing its case against Ripple. Meanwhile, crypto ETF filings have increased recently, with proposed spot XRP and SOL funds among them. The SEC may require a regulated futures market before approving spot crypto ETFs, similar to how bitcoin and ether ETFs were launched after futures contracts existed. The SEC has not yet received a formal product proposal for a Dogecoin trust from Bitwise, although the company has reportedly registered one with the Delaware state website. Overall, these developments indicate growing interest in altcoin-focused funds and potential changes in regulatory outlook.
