      CME Group To Launch Single Stock Futures On 50+ Top US Equities

      Published: just now

      CME Group

      CME Group has announced plans to launch single stock futures beginning this summer, pending regulatory approval. The new financially-settled contracts will cover more than 50 top US stocks from the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and Russell 1000 indices, including Alphabet, Meta, NVIDIA and Tesla.
       

      The products will enable market participants to trade futures on individual equities with the flexibility and capital efficiency of financially-settled futures contracts.

      Tim McCourt, Global Head of Equities, FX and Alternative Products, CME Group, said:

      "We are pleased to begin offering investors an alternative way to gain exposure to individual leading US stocks with our new single stock futures contracts. These contracts will provide a simpler, more cost-effective way to take a view on a stock, whilst allowing market participants to gain exposure to, or hedge potential price movements, without buying shares outright," 
       

      Demand for equity derivatives has grown across institutional and retail audiences in recent years. In 2025, futures and options reached average daily volume of 7.4 million contracts and open interest of 9.8 million contracts. Futures average daily volume reached 6 million contracts, up 15% year-over-year, with record average open interest of 5.6 million contracts, up 19% year-over-year.
       

      The contracts will be listed on and subject to the rules of CME.
