Volatility Shakes Up Crypto Markets With First-Ever XRP Futures ETF
Wall Street just got a new toy—and the crypto crowd is either cheering or rolling their eyes. Volatility Shares slams onto Nasdaq with the first XRP futures ETF, giving traders a fresh way to bet on Ripple’s embattled token without touching the actual asset.
Why it matters: Love it or hate it, institutional money now has a regulated backdoor into XRP speculation. Cue the usual chorus of ’adoption wins’ from crypto bros—while traditional finance quietly pockets the fees.
The punchline: Another milestone for crypto’s march into mainstream finance... or just another derivative product for hedge funds to exploit? Either way, the SEC’s coffee machine is working overtime.
