Get ready to dive into some thrilling crypto news! The buzz is all about the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), one of the biggest names in derivatives trading, making a splash in the crypto pool. What's cooking, you ask? Well, hold onto your hats because they've set their sights on two major players in the crypto world – XRP and SOL – for their 2025 plans.
The grapevine has it that CME is gearing up to kick off futures trading for these digital darlings on February 10, but only if the regulatory stars align. It's like waiting for the big reveal at a magic show!
And while the CME crew hasn't officially spilled the beans yet, the mere whisper of this news sent shockwaves through the crypto universe. XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency, was taking a little nap at $3.13 but sprang to life, jumping up by about 5% to over $3.28. It's been on a bit of a rollercoaster, but it's still riding high with a 10% gain over the last week, inching ever closer to its 2018 peak.
Meanwhile, SOL's been having its own party, thanks to the Trump meme coin craze that kicked off last Friday. It leaped from under $255 to $270 in no time at all. And just over the weekend, Solana's native token hit a record high, soaring past $290.
So, folks, keep your eyes peeled and your crypto wallets ready. Exciting times are ahead, and who knows what more surprises the crypto world has in store for us!
