The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has denied making any official decisions about XRP or Solana futures contracts after a test page on its website incorrectly showed a launch date for the products.
“The beta version of the website, which is often used for mock drafts, was made public by mistake,” a CME spokesperson told FOX Business. “No official decisions have yet been made about launching futures contracts for either token.”
A test version of the CME Group event website, which was briefly accessible on Wednesday, indicated that XRP and Solana futures contracts could be introduced on February 10, subject to regulatory approval.
Bloomberg EFF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seifert confirmed the site's existence before it was taken down.
Assuming that “beta.cmegroup” is the beta/test version of the real CMEGroup website – it looks like CME is waiting to launch SOL and XRP futures on February 10th. But this is not yet available on the actual website.
It honestly makes sense and is mostly expected if true, IMO.

XRP and SOL rose by about 3% on the news before pulling back, according to CoinGecko.
CME currently offers Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts in both standard and micro-dated versions.
