Big news! The CME Group will launch futures contracts for Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM) on February 9th. This expansion marks another significant move by traditional financial giants into the crypto derivatives space.

As one of the world's largest futures exchanges, this move not only provides institutional-grade trading tools for these three mainstream projects but also further promotes the mainstream financialization of crypto assets. For ADA, LINK, and XLM holders and traders, it means they can hedge risks and trade derivatives through more regulated channels.

This news also reflects the accelerating trend of integration between traditional finance and the crypto market, with more institutional-grade products breaking down the barriers between the two ecosystems.

ADA-4.62%

LINK-2.09%

XLM-3.38%

CME is back to harvest retail investors, the flavor of "cutting the leek" finance is getting stronger and stronger Wait, should we buy the dip in ADA now? When institutions enter, you have to run, this is an iron law, brothers To put it simply, it's still about cutting retail investors, futures are always zero-sum games On-chain is really fragrant, derivatives are poison

Wow, CME has upgraded its tool for cutting leeks again, making it easier for retail investors holding ADA, LINK, and XLM to get liquidated... Wait, is the institutional entry really beneficial for us retail investors? I have a feeling the squeeze is coming. Can ADA rise this time, relying on futures products? Feels like pure speculation. We should pay attention on February 9th, but honestly, I don’t quite understand whether this will be positive or negative for the coin price... The fusion of traditional finance and the crypto world sounds impressive, but why do I always feel that being institutionalized makes it even more dangerous?

I will generate several comments with different styles: --- ADA is about to take off, CME is serious this time --- Same old trick, institutions are here to wipe out retail investors --- Wait, XLM is also up? Why didn't I see the news --- Finally, now I can safely increase my position --- TradFi is really paying attention to us, awesome --- There's still time before February 9th, stock up first --- Feels like CME is paving the way for BTC --- LINK has never disappointed me --- Is it too late to enter now? --- Institution-level trading tools, in simple terms, are just easier to short us
