Traditional institutional capital welcomes a brand new Layer 1 investment vehicle! The world's largest derivatives exchange, CME Group, officially announced today (26th) that Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) futures contracts have launched for trading, and disclosed for the first time that 24/7 round-the-clock trading for cryptocurrency futures will be activated on May 29. With the addition of AVAX and SUI, CME's crypto derivatives offerings have exceeded 20 varieties, demonstrating Wall Street's growing demand for hedging and speculation on high-performance public chains.

All contracts are regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and are cash-settled based on the CME CF Reference Rates. The specific contract specifications and spot price references as of press time are as follows: - Avalanche (AVAX): Current price approximately $9.2 to $9.4. Standard contract size is 5,000 AVAX; Micro contract is 500 AVAX. - Sui (SUI): Current price approximately $1.03 to $1.05. Standard contract size is 50,000 SUI; Micro contract is 5,000 SUI. According to earlier official information, the first batch of AVAX and SUI futures trades was successfully completed via Block trade format between the well-known institutional crypto trading platforms FalconX and G-20 Group, indicating that institutional capital had already moved in to position itself from the very beginning. To adapt to the never-closing nature of the cryptocurrency market, CME had also previously announced that, starting May 29, 2026, it would provide 24/7 round-the-clock trading services for its cryptocurrency derivatives (with only brief system maintenance during weekends). This will significantly enhance the flexibility of institutional investors' capital allocation when responding to unexpected market volatility over weekends. With the official launch of AVAX and SUI, CME's coverage of high-performance Layer 1 public chains has been significantly expanded. Reviewing CME's cryptocurrency product development history, in addition to the core Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the exchange has actively expanded its Altcoins lineup in recent years, currently covering: - Mainstream public chains and payments: Solana (SOL), XRP. - Early 2026 launch lineup: Micro contracts for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar Lumens (XLM). Not only that, CME has also previewed that it will successively launch more innovative products this June, including Bitcoin Volatility futures launching on June 1, and Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures launching on June 8. Together with various ratio products (such as ETH/BTC) and options, the regulated crypto-related derivatives on the CME platform now total over 20 varieties, continuing to solidify its position as the preferred gateway for Wall Street institutions embracing the crypto market.
