  • CME said no decisions have been made on XRP or Solana futures contracts, a spokesperson told CoinDesk.

  • A screenshot of a beta page on the platform showing regulated XRP and SOL futures could start trading on Feb. 10 circulated on X earlier on Wednesday.

  • The futures exchange that it was an "error."

An earlier leak on the website of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) showing regulated XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) futures could start trading on Feb. 10 pending regulatory approval was an “error,” a representative of the company told CoinDesk.

“A beta page from our website was released in error earlier today,” the spokesperson said. “Many mock-ups are included in that test environment. No decisions have been made regarding XRP or SOL futures contracts."

A screenshot of a beta page for XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) futures contracts was posted on X earlier on Wednesday, sparking rumors that the exchange might get ready to list those investment vehicles on Feb. 10.

Both tokens jumped as much as 3% following the post, before paring some of their gains.
