Coinbase Seeks Approval for Solana and Hedera Futures Listings

Coinbase is preparing to list futures contracts for Solana (SOL) and Hedera (HBAR) on February 18, according to its filing with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The crypto exchange’s derivatives arm, Coinbase Derivatives, plans to offer cash-settled futures contracts that will expire monthly. The Solana futures will have a standard contract size of 100 SOL, currently valued at around $24,000, with an additional “nano” contract option for 5 SOL. For Hedera, the futures contracts will be sized at 5,000 HBAR tokens.

This development comes as the cryptocurrency sector responds to increasing demand for more diversified derivative products in the wake of President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly administration. In a related note, CME Group accidentally published a futures page for Solana and XRP, but clarified that no official decision had been made on whether to offer these contracts.
