CME futures add TAS trading feature, making SOL and XRP contract trading more flexible

Abstract generation in progress

【ChainNews】CME recently launched the TAS trading feature for Solana (SOL), Micro SOL, Ripple (XRP), and Micro XRP futures contracts. What does this update mean for traders? Simply put, it adds a new trading method.

TAS stands for “Trade at Settlement Price,” which means you can trade at the official settlement price or a price close to it at market close. This may sound technical, but the practical application is clear—precise hedging and avoiding settlement risk.

For traders who need to manage positions between futures and spot markets, this feature enhances flexibility. No longer confined to price fluctuations during traditional trading hours, traders can capture more stable price points at settlement time. Especially for institutional investors and professional traders, this refined risk management tool can significantly reduce trading costs and slippage risk.

Futures contracts for Solana and Ripple are already market hotspots, and with Micro contracts allowing retail investors to participate, the addition of the TAS feature further improves the trading ecosystem.

SOL-4.05%

XRP-3.04%

ngl, TAS sounds neat on paper but lemme dig into the actual exploit vectors here... settlement price manipulation isn't exactly a new attack surface, and i'm already seeing red flags in how CME's handling the order routing. DYOR before touching this, genuinely not financial advice.

CME's recent moves are quite interesting, but to be honest, they are still too far for retail investors. This feature, to put it simply, is tailored for big players; for small retail investors like us, the operation difficulty will only increase. TAS sounds flashy, but in reality, institutional players have been using similar tools for a long time, just under a different name. The futures of SOL and XRP have been enhanced again, but spot trading is still the king; futures are too risky. It feels like these updates are mainly optimizing tools for institutions, while retail investors should still find ways to protect their principal. Hedging arbitrage sounds impressive, but it requires sufficient capital and professional knowledge; most people will still get cut.

Oh no, it's just another upgrade of the institutions' toy. When will retail investors get a turn? It's called "flexible" in a nice way, but actually it's just leaving an arbitrage loophole for big funds. Settlement price trading? Sounds advanced, but in practice, it's still the same group of people who make the most money.
