CME Launches Cash-Settled Futures Contracts for Individual Stocks

New Futures Contracts Drive Market Diversification

In response to growing demand for individual stock derivatives, CME has launched cash-settled futures contracts on more than 50 leading US stocks.

The list includes tech giants like Alphabet, Meta, NVIDIA, and Tesla, marking a significant step forward in CME’s expansion into the individual stock derivatives space.

Enhancing Flexibility and Transparency

Cash-settled contracts eliminate the need for physical delivery, allowing traders to profit from price movements without owning the underlying shares, improving capital efficiency.

• Lower entry barriers
• Increased market liquidity
• Better risk management

All contracts will be listed on CME and governed by its existing regulatory framework to ensure transparency and compliance.
