The post David Benavidez Vs. Anthony Yarde Full Card Results And Highlights appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – NOVEMBER 22: (L-R) David Benavidez punches Anthony Yarde in a WBC and WBA light-heavyweight title fight during Ring IV: Night of the Champions at ANB Arena on November 22, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty Images) Getty Images On Saturday at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, David Benavidez punctuated an action-packed card with a dominant seventh-round TKO victory over a game but overmatched Anthony Yarde. Benavidez’s hand speed, power, and accuracy were too much for Yarde as he was battered before referee Hector Afu mercifully intervened to stop the fight. Benavidez dropped Yarde earlier in the decisive round but was deducted a point for hitting his opponent as he was on the mat. It didn’t matter. Even with the deducted point, there was no question Yarde’s time in the ring was nearly done. Benavidez shook off the point deduction and savagely finished his business later in the frame.

(Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty Images) Getty Images Yarde was clearly beaten and he did not offer any resistance or dispute to the referee’s decision. Quite honestly, Yarde’s corner should have made the decision even before Afu called an end to the fight. Once Yarde was dropped, there was no coming back on Benavidez. All the fight had been pounded out of the Brit and there was nothing left for him to do but take unnecessary punishment. The win ran Benavidez’s record to 32-0 and he now has 25 victories by KO. Yarde dropped to 27-4 and this was the kind of beating that the 34-year-old may…

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.
