CME Exchange Launches XRP Futures ETF with Strong $6M Debut Amid Institutional Surge

Ripple’s XRP is experiencing renewed institutional interest following the resolution of its prolonged regulatory challenges. The introduction of CME Group’s XRP Futures ETF on May 19 marked a significant milestone, recording nearly $6 million in first-day trading volume.

The new XRP ETFs have already surpassed their ethereum counterparts in performance, indicating strong demand from institutional investors. While Bitcoin ETFs continue to dominate with billions in daily volume, XRP’s early success points to potential for broader market adoption.

Analysts now suggest spot XRP ETFs may be inevitable, despite ongoing SEC delays and legal complexities. The cryptocurrency’s improving regulatory clarity appears to be creating new opportunities for institutional participation.
