As the range of crypto derivatives continues to expand, futures contracts based on XRP are now set to launch.
The new products are expected to go live on May 19, pending regulatory approval. The contracts will be offered in two different sizes: micro contracts of 2,500 XRP and standard contracts of 50,000 XRP. These futures will be settled in cash and priced based on a daily reference rate.
Institutional interest in cryptocurrencies is growing, and XRP is standing out thanks to the infrastructure it offers to financial institutions. Recent legal developments and a softening regulatory stance have helped boost investor confidence in the asset.
With strong partnerships involving major financial firms and an active role in some central bank digital currency (CBDC) projects, XRP’s institutional adoption is gaining momentum. These new futures products are designed to meet the demand for regulated, professional-grade risk management tools.
