XRP Futures Go Live on CME—Wall Street Finally Catches Up to Crypto
XRP Futures Go Live on CME—Wall Street Finally Catches Up to Crypto
12
3
CME Group just greenlit XRP futures trading—five years after crypto natives started swapping the token. Traders can now bet on Ripple’s embattled asset with the same tools used for pork bellies and crude oil.
Why now? Regulatory clarity (sort of). The SEC’s messy lawsuit against Ripple created just enough legal gray area for institutional players to dive in—with risk departments blissfully ignoring the irony of hedging a ’security’ that may not be one.
Pro tip: Watch open interest. If these contracts gain traction, it could pump fresh liquidity into XRP markets... or give shorts new ammunition to hammer the price. Either way, the suits are late to the party—as usual.
