what happened

According to TradingView, CME Group posted third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.74 billion, up 13%. Net income reached $1.04 billion, and diluted earnings per share were $2.89, 16% higher. Average daily volume of about 29.4 million contracts set a record. Market data revenue rose 20% to $243 million, while technology costs increased.

The exchange also launched Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures on October 19, 2026, in both standard and Micro contract sizes. The company does not break out crypto-related revenue and says such products are included in its broader market activities. CME has offered 24/7 crypto trading since May 29, 2026. Through the third quarter, weekend notional volume exceeded $3.7 billion, with the largest weekend on August 21 to 23 seeing 69,600 contracts worth $554.7 million.

CME metals head Jin Hennig said copper pricing is regional, with Comex and Shanghai prices diverging and creating arbitrage between Shanghai, New York and London. He noted that more than 700,000 tonnes of copper in Comex warehouses may remain sidelined.

why it matters

A strong quarter and record volumes point to robust demand for hedging and speculation, which supports the exchange's revenue. Crypto products are not reported separately, so their contribution to earnings remains unclear. The gap between copper prices on different exchanges matters for metals traders.
