CME Group has announced that XRP futures will be launched on their platform on May 19, 2025. This move is significant as it provides institutional investors with a new avenue to engage with the cryptocurrency market. The launch of XRP futures is expected to attract more institutional players, further boosting the adoption of XRP.

This development is part of CME Group's broader strategy to expand its offerings in the cryptocurrency space. The launch of XRP futures follows the successful introduction of other cryptocurrency derivatives, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, which have gained significant traction among institutional investors.
