PANews reported on December 19th, citing Cointelegraph, that perpetual contract trading platform Synthetix announced its return to the Ethereum mainnet. Its founder, Kain Warwick, stated that previously, high gas fees and network congestion forced derivatives platforms, including Synthetix, to migrate to Layer 2 networks or other alternative blockchains. However, transaction fees on the Ethereum mainnet have now significantly decreased, enabling it to run high-frequency financial applications again. Synthetix migrated to the Ethereum Layer 2 network Optimism in 2022, and subsequently expanded to Arbitrum and Base. Etherscan data shows that on Wednesday, the average Ethereum gas fee was approximately 0.71 gwei, a nearly 26-fold decrease from 18.85 gwei on the same day twelve months ago.

Warwick points out that, combined with the scaling progress of Layer 2 and the mainnet, critical infrastructure can now run on the mainnet. He believes that the Ethereum mainnet possesses the most liquidity, assets, and margin in the crypto world, making it the most efficient on-chain market, and anticipates that other perpetual contract decentralized exchanges will follow suit. He also states that 2025 will be Ethereum's most significant year of development since its merger in 2022, with greater attention being paid to the needs of network builders.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Market Efficiency

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Market Efficiency

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into trading platforms has fundamentally reshaped how institutions operate. Traditional trading systems rely mainly on human decisions and the use of archaic systems. In contrast, AI-driven trading platforms use advanced machine learning models and big data analytics to identify patterns, predict price movements, and execute trades automatically.
