Uniswap becomes first DeFi token with futures on CME Group

UNI futures are now live on the Chicago exchange in two contract sizes, with round-the-clock access through CME Globex Uniswap ’s UNI token now trades as a futures contract on CME Group. That makes it the first decentralized exchange governance token to get a listing on the world’s best-known derivatives venue. CME Group announced the plan on September 22, 2026. It paired UNI with Bitcoin Cash , and both futures products were slated to debut together. Trading went live on October 19, 2026, following regulatory approval. That gap of roughly four weeks gave institutions time to wire up accounts, risk systems and compliance sign-offs. The UNI futures come in two sizes. A standard contract covers 10,000 UNI, while a micro contract covers 1,000 UNI.
