CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, has reported robust growth in its third quarter of 2025. The exchange saw a significant increase in average daily volume (ADV) across various asset classes, with notable surges in metals and cryptocurrency trading.

CME Group's overall ADV reached 25.3 million contracts in Q3 2025, climbing further to 26.1 million contracts in September. This growth was driven by increased participation in multiple markets.

Metals trading witnessed a substantial boost, with ADV reaching 825,000 contracts. The Micro Gold futures segment led this growth, with ADV surging 125% to 255,000 contracts. Cryptocurrency trading also set new records, with ADV hitting 340,000 contracts, and Micro Ether futures ADV reaching 209,000 contracts.

CME Group's Q3 2025 results reflect a diverse and vibrant marketplace, with significant growth in metals, cryptocurrency, and other asset classes. The exchange's global reach, as evidenced by its international ADV, continues to drive its success. Despite the lack of data on the highest ADNV in European repo trading, CME Group's overall performance remains robust and promising.
