PANews reported on October 6th that Cointelegraph has compiled a list of the five most noteworthy top traders in the crypto market in 2025. Their common characteristic is that they rely not only on capital but also on narratives to influence the market. These five traders and their representative styles include: James Wynn: Represents a high-risk, high-leverage (often up to 40 times) speculative style. Although he has created amazing returns, he has also experienced tens of millions of dollars in liquidation. Andrew Kang: Adopts a theme-driven macro strategy and is adept at converting clear macro or policy shifts (such as US tariff policy) into hundreds of millions of dollars in leveraged trades. GCR: Known for its contrarian investments and high-conviction bets on altcoins, it gained fame for its successful shorting of LUNA and often influences market sentiment through public statements. "Big Brother Maji" Huang Licheng: Focusing on the Meme coin and NFT fields, his trading style is high leverage and rapid direction change, representing the extreme volatility of speculative assets. Arthur Hayes: A market-leading macro forecaster and cyclical strategist, his articles and interviews often combine central bank policy, liquidity and the supply mechanism of BTC and ETH to influence the market's view of the macro environment. The article concludes that with the influx of institutional funds and stricter regulations, the actions of these traders have become early indicators of market sentiment and potential direction, and their strategies provide observers with a window into the dynamics of contemporary crypto markets.PANews reported on October 6th that Cointelegraph has compiled a list of the five most noteworthy top traders in the crypto market in 2025.

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.
