Recent press releases and 8-K filings for CME.
- CME Group’s metals complex set a new single-day trading record of 3,338,528 contracts on January 26, 2026, up 18% from the prior high of 2,829,666 contracts on October 17, 2025.
- Micro Silver futures led the session with a record 715,111 contracts traded and 35,702 contracts in open interest, while Silver, Micro Gold and 1-Ounce Gold futures each ranked among the top five trading days for the metals complex.
- CME Group will launch 100-Ounce Silver futures on February 9, 2026, pending regulatory approval to meet increasing retail demand.
- CME Group will introduce futures contracts for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK) and Stellar (Lumens) on February 9, pending regulatory approval, with both standard and micro-sized contracts (e.g., 100,000 ADA and 10,000 ADA for ADA futures).
- The new listings expand CME’s crypto derivatives suite—already including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and Solana—after the company achieved record 2025 ADV of 278,300 contracts ($12 billion notional) and average open interest of 313,900 contracts ($26.4 billion notional).
- CME Group will launch a 100-Ounce Silver futures contract on February 9, 2026, pending regulatory approval
- The move responds to record retail demand in 2025—Micro Gold futures averaged 301K contracts/day and Micro Silver futures averaged 48K contracts/day
- The new contract, listed on COMEX, will be financially settled to the daily settlement price of the global benchmark silver futures, offering lower-capital access for traders
- CME Group will shift margin calculations for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures from fixed dollar amounts to a percentage of notional value, effective after the close on Jan. 13, 2026, to better align collateral with market moves.
- The change comes after extreme volatility in precious metals, with gold up ~65% in 2025 and briefly topping $4,600, silver +170%, platinum +150% and palladium +95% as of Jan. 6, 2026.
- This adjustment aims to reduce frequent manual margin resets and enhance risk management amid record highs and dramatic price swings.
- CME Group’s robust financial profile (operating margin ~64.98%, net margin ~58.84%, debt-to-equity ~0.12 and market cap ~$95.55 billion) supports its capacity to implement these risk-setting enhancements.
- International ADV reached a record 8.4 million contracts in 2025, up 8% from 2024.
- EMEA ADV hit 6.1 million contracts (+6% YoY), APAC ADV reached 1.9 million (+13%), Canada ADV was 180,000 (+10%), and LatAm ADV held at 173,000 contracts.
- Globally, total ADV climbed to 28.1 million contracts in 2025, up 6% from 2024, led by 14.2 million interest rate ADV (+4%) and metals ADV up 34%.

- Q4 ADV hit a record 27.4 million contracts, with December ADV at 23.5 million contracts.
- Interest Rate ADV grew 4% to 14.2 million contracts, Equity Index ADV rose 8% to 7.4 million contracts, and Cryptocurrency ADV surged 139% to 278,000 contracts.
- International ADV climbed 8% to 8.4 million contracts, driven by record volumes in EMEA (6.1 million) and APAC (1.9 million).
- CME Group has launched Spot-Quoted XRP and SOL futures, expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives suite alongside existing Spot-Quoted Bitcoin and Ether futures.
- The new contracts, the smallest in CME’s Crypto complex, trade in spot-market terms with a longer-dated expiry, removing the need for frequent position rollovers.
- Spot-Quoted XRP and SOL futures are available across four major U.S. equity indices: S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones Industrial Average.
- Existing Spot-Quoted Bitcoin and Ether futures have recorded strong adoption, with 1.3 million contracts traded since June and an average daily volume of 35,300 in December.
- The U.S. SEC approved CME Group’s registration of CME Securities Clearing Inc., set to launch in Q2 2026.
- The new clearing house will help market participants meet the SEC’s U.S. Treasury transaction clearing mandate by end-2026 and Repo mandate by mid-2027.
- It offers expanded clearing capacity, capital efficiencies, done-with/away execution solutions, and extended cross-margining with FICC.
