The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world’s premier derivatives marketplace, is expanding its potential lineup of blockchain-based products, unveiling an in-house tokenized collateral solution to complement a "tokenized cash" partnership announced with Google last year.
What's the Scoop?
- CME Token: During CME's latest earnings call, CEO Terry Duffy suggested the derivatives giant will launch a tokenized collateral solutions, confirming that his firm is exploring “initiatives with our own coin that we could potentially put on a decentralized network.” According to Duffy, the cash-like offering would appeal to holders seeking the backing of a systemically important financial institution.
- Existing Partnership: In March 2025, CME Group and Google Cloud announced a partnership to explore tokenization on Google Cloud's "Universal Ledger." Digital asset settlement and clearing services are expected to go live on the network sometime this year.
