CME Group Adds Avalanche and Sui Futures Contracts to Regulated Crypto Suite

CME Group, the world's largest derivatives marketplace, is expanding its regulated cryptocurrency offerings with the upcoming listing of avalanche (AVAX) and sui (SUI) futures contracts.

The new listings are set to launch on May 4, 2026, pending review by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This move marks a significant step in CME Group's efforts to build out its regulated crypto suite ahead of a planned 24/7 trading launch later this month.

The addition brings the total number of digital assets covered by CME Group's crypto futures to eight, including bitcoin, ether, solana, XRP, cardano, chainlink, and stellar. AVAX and SUI futures will be available in standard and micro sizes, offering participants greater flexibility across position sizes and capital requirements.
