CME Group will roll out XRP futures on May 19 pending regulatory approval. The offering includes micro contracts of 2500 XRP and larger 50000 XRP contracts aimed at providing flexible trading options for a wider audience. These contracts will be cash-settled based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate calculated daily at 4 PM London time.
The move supports growing demand for regulated crypto derivatives as market participants seek broader exposure to digital assets. CME already offers Bitcoin Ether and Solana futures. XRP’s addition shows strong institutional interest in tokens with real-world utility as the asset continues to facilitate fast global value transfers through the XRP Ledger.
XRP’s presence in futures markets marks a new chapter in mainstream crypto adoption. With Robinhood planning to offer access to CME’s XRP futures retail traders could soon tap into advanced crypto trading tools. Teucrium’s XRP ETF hitting $35 million in 10 days also highlights rising investor confidence.
