  • CME Group’s Q2 2026 earnings call drew remarks from CEO Terrence Duffy and CFO Lynne Fitzpatrick, with other executives joining for Q&A.
  • Duffy pushed back on “perpetual futures,” calling them leveraged spot-like products with funding-rate resets, high leverage, automated liquidations, limited protections.
  • He said institutional clients drive 94% of first-half volume, making perpetuals unsuitable hedges due to lacking price and time certainty, higher all-in costs.
  • Duffy said CME can launch perpetual futures and has specifications ready, but has not heard customer demand; crypto futures volume rose more than sevenfold in three years.
  • Fitzpatrick reported Q2 revenue of USD 1.7 billion, market data revenue of USD 238 million, adjusted EPS of USD 2.99; July volume tracking 18% above last year.
