# Solana futures completed their first trading day on CME

> On March 17, as the momentum for cryptocurrency acceptance in the mainstream market continues to grow, Solana (SOL) futures were traded for the first time on the U.S. derivatives exchange at the CME. In February of this year, the CME revealed plans to launch two types of Solana futures contracts: one is a standard contract representing 500 SOL, and the other is a "micro" contract aimed at retail investors, with each representing 25 SOL. Following the launch of related products by Coinbase in February, these contracts became the first regulated Solana futures to enter the U.S. market. These contracts are cash-settled rather than settled in physical SOL. According to preliminary data from the CME website, on the first trading day of the March 17 contract, Solana futures with a notional value of nearly 40,000 SOL (approximately $5 million) changed hands on the exchange. Early pricing data indicates that traders may have a bearish sentiment towards SOL
