Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon who helped lead the civil rights movement in the 1960s, died Tuesday aged 84, Politico reported.

A colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson was a key figure in the fight against racial inequality dating back to the 1950s and, until 2023, was the leader of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1971 that advocates for civil rights and social justice.

A member of the Democratic Party, Jackson was close to its progressive wing and had endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in his 2020 bid for the White House. After Sanders’ exit from the race, Jackson backed Joe Biden.

Jackson launched the Rainbow PUSH Coalition in honor of American activist Fred Hampton, a prominent leader of the Black Panther Party who was killed by law enforcement after extensive monitoring by the FBI, which viewed him as a threat.

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.
