US Treasury’s Bessent Lauds Singapore’s Digital Asset Leadership at APEC

US Treasury’s Bessent Lauds Singapore’s Digital Asset Leadership at APEC

The post US Treasury’s Bessent Lauds Singapore’s Digital Asset Leadership at APEC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised Singapore’s leadership in stablecoin and digital asset adoption during a meeting with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Friday, according to an official readout from the US Department of the Treasury.  The discussion was held at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2025 summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, where world leaders are meeting to discuss global growth, energy security and technology. Bessent also told APEC leaders during the Economic Leaders’ Informal Dialogue that through their work with APEC economies, the US is “seeing record levels of capital being invested into advanced manufacturing and technology sectors.”  APEC is an annual forum founded in 1989 that brings together 21 member economies to promote sustainable growth and economic cooperation across the Asia-Pacific region. Bessent’s remarks come as he has been traveling across Asia alongside US President Donald Trump, making stops in Malaysia, Japan and South Korea.

A December 2024 report by ApeX Protocol found that Singapore granted twice as many cryptocurrency licenses in 2024 as it did the previous year. The study also identified the city-state as a global leader in Web3 employment, the number of registered crypto exchanges and blockchain-related patent filings. While taking an innovative stance on crypto, the country has also been enforcing regulations. A directive from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on May 30 told crypto companies offering services abroad to get licensed or leave the country. In September, another report by ApeX Protocol found that Singapore takes top spot in the world as the most “crypto-obsessed” nation, with nearly a quarter of its…

CME Hits $3B Open Interest in XRP, Solana Futures & Options

CME Hits $3B Open Interest in XRP, Solana Futures & Options

The post CME Hits $3B Open Interest in XRP, Solana Futures & Options appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME open interest in XRP and Solana futures reached about $3 billion, a new high. SOL futures launched in March 2025 and crossed $1 billion OI in August; XRP futures hit $1 billion OI within three months of launch. CME rolled out options on XRP and Solana futures, with first trades on Oct. 12–13 by Wintermute, Superstate, Cumberland DRW, and Galaxy. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has recorded an all-time high in open interest for its Solana (SOL) and XRP futures. This highlights accelerating institutional and retail participation in regulated crypto derivatives.  The combined open interest for the two altcoin contracts reached approximately $3 billion, the highest level since their listings. Record Demand For Regulated Altcoin Derivatives According to CME data, Monday’s session saw 9,900 active XRP and micro-XRP futures contracts.  This ran alongside 15,600 Solana and micro-Solana positions, reflecting increased trading activity. This high watermark extends the exchange’s momentum as traders seek exposure in regulated U.S. markets. Related: Altcoins Gain Traction as Crypto Market Diversifies XRP and Solana Futures Surpass Billion-Dollar Benchmarks CME introduced its Solana futures in March 2025, with the standard contract representing 500 SOL. The product surpassed the $1 billion notional open interest level by August. XRP futures, launched later, reached the same mark just three months after debut. Both instruments have since gained traction among asset managers and proprietary trading firms, as they adjust portfolios amid expanded digital-asset coverage. Tim McCourt, CME Group’s Global Head of Equity and FX Products, spoke during the Token2049 conference in Dubai. He noted that the growth of regulated crypto derivatives shows “consistent demand from investors using futures to manage risk and gain exposure to the broader market.” Options Arrive To Deepen Hedging And Strategy The record in open interest follows CME’s launch of options on XRP and Solana futures,…

XRP and SOL Futures Open Interest on CME Hits Record High

The post XRP and SOL Futures Open Interest on CME Hits Record High appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The CME-listed futures tied to XRP$2.6419 and Solana SOL$195.42 saw record open interest Monday in a sign of consistent demand for regulated products. The global derivatives giant saw a record 9,900 XRP and micro XRP active contracts Monday, alongside 15,600 open positions in standard and micro SOL futures. Taken together, these contracts equated to a notional open interest of $3 billion. This milestone reflects the increasing adoption of regulated futures as a preferred venue for investors seeking exposure to digital assets, manage risks, and capitalizing on the growing crypto market, as Tim McCourt, the exchange’s Global Head of Equity & FX Products, said during the Token2049 conference in Dubai. The standard Solana futures contract, sized at 500 SOL, went live in March and crossed the $1 billion notional open interest mark in August. Futures tied to the payments-focused XRP crossed that threshold in August, just three months after their debut.
