Coinbase Goes All-In on XRP: 24/7 Futures Trading & Corporate Lending Platform Goes Live
Wall Street’s favorite crypto punching bag just got a serious power-up. Coinbase fires two bullish shots for XRP: round-the-clock futures and a lending platform tailor-made for public companies.
No more banker hours—XRP futures now trade 24/7. Meanwhile, corporate treasurers can finally ’innovate’ by pledging their XRP bags as collateral. Because nothing screams ’responsible governance’ like leveraged digital asset plays.
The move signals institutional demand despite regulatory purgatory—and lets Coinbase double-dip on fees from both traders and Fortune 500 dilettantes. Game on.

- Coinbase launches 24/7 XRP futures trading starting June 13, joining Bitcoin and Ethereum in around-the-clock access

XRP is attracting increased institutional attention through major trading infrastructure upgrades and new financial services. The developments come as Ripple’s native token positions itself for broader adoption in digital finance markets.
Coinbase announced the launch of 24/7 XRP futures trading beginning June 13. This expansion follows the exchange’s existing round-the-clock futures offerings for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Starting June 13, we’re enabling 24×7 trading for $XRP and solana ( $SOL ) futures, unlocking real-time access to U.S. traders, reflecting the always-on nature of crypto markets.

The new XRP futures will join Solana and Cardano in continuous market access for U.S. traders. Each XRP futures contract represents 10,000 XRP and will be cash-settled in USD.
The contracts include a 10% hourly price fluctuation cap to manage volatility. This feature aims to provide more stable trading conditions for institutional participants.
“Starting June 13, we’re enabling 24×7 trading for XRP and Solana futures, unlocking real-time access to U.S. traders,” Coinbase stated. The move reflects the always-on nature of cryptocurrency markets.
Andy Sears, CEO of Coinbase Financial Markets, called the development important for the industry. He emphasized the value of CFTC-regulated products in the maturing crypto market.

ACG plans to acquire up to $10 million worth of XRP to support platform liquidity. The company will use XRP futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange as a hedging instrument.
Milton “Todd” Ault III, executive chairman of Hyperscale Data, described the initiative as bridging traditional finance and blockchain. The platform will offer integrated hedging and risk management tools for institutional users.
The long-term roadmap includes tokenizing real-world assets and integrating cross-border payments. These features align with Ripple’s broader fintech and decentralized finance ambitions.
Price Action Shows Technical Recovery
XRP trades at approximately $2.15 as of June 1, rebounding from recent lows. The token pulled back from a monthly high of $2.60 before finding support NEAR the 0.382 Fibonacci level.
Technical indicators on the 4-hour chart show improving momentum. MACD has turned green while RSI climbed above 55, suggesting weakening bearish pressure.
Traders are monitoring resistance levels between $2.22 and $2.35. These levels align with the 50-day EMA and upper Bollinger Band on technical charts.

Industry Calls for Unity
At the XRP Las Vegas 2025 conference, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse urged collaboration between cryptocurrency communities. He specifically addressed rivalry between bitcoin and XRP supporters.
“The Bitcoin community is not the enemy. They really are not,” Garlinghouse told conference attendees. He emphasized that cryptocurrencies are not a zero-sum game.
Garlinghouse drew on his 24 years of Silicon Valley experience to support his argument. He stated that both communities should focus on competing against the traditional banking system rather than each other.
The collaboration theme extended throughout the conference with multiple speakers calling for industry cooperation. Tron founder Justin Sun hinted at potential partnerships with Ripple during the event.
Prior to the conference, Garlinghouse donated the “Skull of Satoshi” to the Bitcoin community as a peace offering. The gesture received positive responses from both Bitcoin and XRP communities.
The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit continues to influence XRP market dynamics while regulatory clarity remains pending for U.S. markets.
