The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has attributed the leak of XRP and Solana futures to a technical glitch, sparking rumors about potential listings.
CME Clarifies XRP and SOL Futures Leak
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has confirmed that an earlier leak on its website regarding regulated XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) futures was an “error.” According to a company spokesperson, the leaked information was part of a beta page from their website that was released prematurely.
No Decisions Made Regarding XRP or SOL Futures Contracts
The representative emphasized that no decisions have been made regarding XRP or SOL futures contracts. The leak sparked rumors that the exchange might be planning to list these investment vehicles on February 10, pending regulatory approval.
Market Reaction
Following the post, both tokens experienced a surge of up to 3%, before paring some of their gains. However, it appears that this increase was largely driven by speculation and not based on any concrete evidence or confirmation from CME.
Correction and Clarification
The spokesperson clarified that the leaked information was part of a test environment, which included mock-ups and other non-binding materials. The company has since taken steps to rectify the situation and ensure that accurate information is disseminated in the future.
