CME Group Expands Regulated Crypto Derivatives Suite with AVAX and SUI Futures

The CME Group has announced its plans to introduce futures contracts for Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) on May 4, 2026, subject to regulatory approval. This move is part of the exchange's broader push into the crypto market.

The new contracts will be available in both standard and micro sizes, with AVAX offering a standard contract size of 5,000 units and a micro contract size of 500 units, while SUI will have a standard contract size of 50,000 units and a micro contract size of 5,000 units.

The introduction of these new contracts is expected to bring more institutional hedging and speculation tools to the AVAX and SUI markets, potentially leading to increased adoption and growth in these ecosystems.
