CME Group has reported a new record for XRP futures trading volume, exceeding 9,900 contracts on October 27th. This surge underscores the increasing interest and active market use of regulated XRP derivatives. CME first introduced XRP futures in May 2025, initially with thousands of contracts traded. However, this month’s record highlights consistent liquidity and a growing network of institutional investors seeking to engage through the exchange’s regulated framework. 2025 saw an increase in trading volume from just over 24,000 contracts traded within the first month to over 9,900 contracts in October alone. This demonstrates that XRP is gaining traction as a legitimate market instrument and moving away from speculative tokens.
