Red Bull’s Max Verstappen produced a flawless drive at the Qatar Grand Prix to secure a crucial victory and set up a three-way title showdown next weekend in Abu Dhabi.

The Dutchman entered the race with a critical task on his shoulders, needing to finish ahead of championship leader Lando Norris to avoid being eliminated from the title contention.

Having started the race in third behind Norris, the reigning champion made a clean start and got past the McLaren driver right at the first corner of the opening lap, clearing the way for himself to chase down race leader Oscar Piastri.

The race turned on its head several laps later when Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly collided on lap 7, prompting a perfectly timed safety car period to allow teams to commit to the two mandated 25-lap tire stints.

Everyone pitted during the safety car period except for the McLarens – a strategy Norris questioned before being told over team radio, “They have lost all of their flexibility for the remainder of the race.”

The gamble backfired however and opened the door for Verstappen to snatch a flawless victory with a margin of 7.995s ahead of Piastri, who slipped to second.

Piastri voiced his frustration over team radio following the race, saying, “Speechless. I don’t have any words.”

Norris ended up in fourth after failing to pass the Williams of Carlos Sainz, who delivered a fantastic drive to secure his second podium of the season in third.

The Briton now leads the championship by just 12 points over Verstappen, who has climbed to second in the standings, while Piastri sits 16 points adrift heading into the season finale in Abu Dhabi next weekend.

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.
