The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) launched the first U.S.-regulated XRP futures on Monday, offering cash-settled contracts in sizes of 2,500 and 50,000 XRP, priced using a daily reference rate. The move marks a significant step toward a potential spot XRP ETF, which remains under SEC review. Industry voices, including ETF Store President Nate Geraci, suggest the existence of regulated futures strengthens the case for ETF approval, echoing the precedent set with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
