The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) denied making any official decisions about XRP or Solana futures contracts after a test page erroneously appeared on its website showing a potential launch date for the products.

“The beta version of the website, which is often used for mock-up drafts, was made public in error,” a CME spokesperson told FOX Business. “No official decisions have yet been made about launching futures contracts for either token.”

A test version of the CME Group’s staging website, briefly accessible on Wednesday, indicated the potential introduction of XRP and Solana futures contracts on February 10, subject to regulatory approval.

Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart corroborated the page’s existence before it was removed.

XRP and SOL rose around 3% on the leak news before pulling back, according to CoinGecko.

CME currently offers Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts in both standard and micro-sized versions.
