The world's largest derivatives marketplace just announced regulated futures contracts for #Cardano (ADA), #Chainlink (LINK), and #Stellar (XLM) launching February 9, 2026 (pending final regulatory review).
This expansion includes standard & micro-sized contracts: $ADA: 100,000 & Micro 10,000 $LINK: 5,000 & Micro 250 $XLM (Lumens): 250,000 & Micro 12,500
Institutional demand is surging for regulated tools to hedge and gain exposure to top altcoins.
With crypto derivatives hitting record volumes in 2025, this boosts legitimacy, liquidity, and capital efficiency for Cardano's smart contracts, Chainlink's oracle network, and Stellar's cross-border payments.
Big money is rotating into alts -- and CME listings have historically preceded major price momentum (remember $BTC & $ETH? 👀).
