CME Group announced today that the BrokerTec EU market has reopened following a cooling system failure at the CyrusOne data center, an incident that forced the suspension of all other CME markets. According to the official notice, the interruption has temporarily halted trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana futures listed on the platform.
The suspension may affect liquidity and trading volumes for the impacted assets, although no long-term price effects are expected. BrokerTec EU, which specializes in European fixed income, resumed operations quickly, while crypto futures and other CME markets remain paused until remediation efforts at the data center are completed. No comments have been issued by regulatory bodies in response to the incident.
The outage occurred during a period of elevated activity in the Bitcoin market, which holds a market capitalization of $1.83 trillion and a dominance of 58.52%, reflecting a 7.45% increase over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. CME noted it will continue providing updates on the full restoration of its markets.
