The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s upcoming XRP futures contracts represent a major milestone for Ripple’s digital asset, establishing a direct pipeline for institutional investment. This development aligns with increasing expectations for regulatory approval of an XRP-focused exchange-traded fund, with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts now estimating an 85% probability.

Market sentiment shows measured optimism—Polymarket traders price the ETF likelihood at 83%, indicating strong consensus about the product’s potential. A key SEC decision expected in June could trigger significant capital inflows, especially if the derivatives market shows healthy early trading volume.
