CME Group to Launch XRP Futures in May 2025

The CME Group is set to launch XRP futures contracts on May 19, 2025, pending regulatory approval. This marks a significant expansion for the group’s crypto derivatives portfolio and signals their commitment to providing more diverse investment options for customers. The move follows the recent introduction of Solana futures earlier this year. The company cites rising interest in XRP due to increasing institutional and retail adoption, suggesting that these new futures contracts will provide a robust toolset for hedging and trading strategies.
