The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has rolled out XRP futures contracts, marking a pivotal moment for the digital asset in traditional finance. Institutional interest spiked immediately, with notional trading volume surpassing $19 million on day one and an extra $10 million the next day. Nearly $30 million in trading activity across two sessions highlights robust demand from major market players.

CME’s XRP futures come in two versions: a micro contract (2,500 XRP) and a standard contract (50,000 XRP), both cash-settled against the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate. This move has ignited speculation about a potential XRP spot ETF, following the path of other crypto assets that gained mainstream financial products post-futures launch.
