Coinbase is seeking to list futures for Solana (SOL) and Hedera (HBAR), aiming for a launch as early as February 18. The company has submitted a self-certification application to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for approval. The futures contracts for Solana would be sized at 100 SOL, worth approximately $24,000, and there will also be 'nano' contracts for five SOL. Hedera futures would consist of 5,000 tokens. This move follows a trend in the cryptocurrency market to introduce new products, particularly after the inauguration of a crypto-friendly president. The announcement aligns with other recent activities in the space, including a mishap at the CME which inadvertently revealed a futures page for XRP and SOL. If approved, these cash-settled futures would benefit Coinbase's derivatives arm, expanding its offerings in the increasingly diversified crypto market.
