Coinbase has filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to introduce futures contracts for Solana (SOL) and Hedera (HBAR), with a planned launch date of February 18.
The new contracts will be cash-settled monthly, offering institutional traders exposure to both assets. Each Solana futures contract will represent 100 SOL, valued at approximately $24,000 at current prices, with an alternative “nano” contract for 5 SOL. Hedera futures will be based on 5,000 HBAR tokens.
This move follows a series of new product launches within the crypto market, sparked by growing institutional interest and the crypto-friendly policies of President Donald Trump’s administration. Meanwhile, CME Group mistakenly published futures pages for both Solana and XRP, though the exchange clarified no decision had been made about offering those futures.
