Coinbase Seeks CFTC Approval for XRP Futures, Expanding Access to Regulated Market

Coinbase Derivatives has officially filed with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to self-certify futures contracts for XRP, seeking regulatory approval for a new product offering investors access to this highly liquid digital asset in a regulated environment. The new contracts are anticipated to be available to traders on April 21, 2025. This development could significantly expand XRP’s market acceptance within regulated environments where futures contracts provide opportunities for risk management and hedging.
