CME Group Lists Avalanche and Sui Futures as First Block Trades Clear

The move gives institutions a regulated way to hedge altcoin exposure.

Overview

  • CME said the new AVAX and SUI futures are live, with the first block trades executed between FalconX and G-20 Group.
  • The exchange is offering both micro-sized and standard contracts to help traders fine-tune position size and capital use.
  • CME said its cryptocurrency futures and options will shift to 24/7 trading on May 29 to align with always-on spot markets.
  • The company plans Bitcoin volatility futures for June 1, pending regulatory review, which would let traders target expected price swings rather than coin direction.
  • FalconX and G-20 said large allocators and corporate treasuries prefer onshore, CFTC-regulated markets, underscoring demand that now extends past Bitcoin and Ether.
