Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is poised to expand its trading options by pursuing regulatory approval for XRP futures contracts. The company, through its derivatives platform Coinbase Derivatives, recently submitted self-certification documents to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for these contracts, with an anticipated launch date of April 21st. This process enables Coinbase to demonstrate compliance and facilitate the introduction of futures contracts without encountering potential delays from the CFTC.
