CME Group’s cryptocurrency futures and options generated $3.7 billion in weekend notional value through the third quarter of 2026, while October’s reported daily averages provide no separate weekend total. Weekend activity exceeded 361,000 contracts during the period, averaging just over 20,000 contracts and $206 million per weekend. The largest weekend in the period was Aug. 21-23, 2026, when trading reached 69,600 contracts and $554.7 million in notional value. In October 2026, CME’s crypto products averaged 145,000 contracts and $7.85 billion in daily notional value. Those daily averages do not establish an October weekend total.
