The launch of regulated XRP futures by CME Group has opened doors for wider investor access to the cryptocurrency. Nine leading asset managers have filed for ETFs focused on XRP, signaling a shift towards structured investment vehicles. Teucrium’s 2x Long Daily XRP ETF leads with over $106 million in assets under management, outperforming Solana’s leveraged product in this early phase of adoption. This move has been met positively by Ripple Labs, which sees the futures as a key step to increase institutional engagement for XRP. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, highlighted the launch as a strategic milestone, noting that Hidden Road successfully cleared its first block trade at the CME open.
