币界网报道：CME Group is reportedly considering launching XRP futures contracts, with trading potentially starting as early as this year, according to industry sources. The move comes amid growing institutional interest in crypto derivatives, with CME's Bitcoin and Ethereum futures already seeing significant volumes. While no official announcement has been made, market participants suggest the launch could bring substantial liquidity to XRP markets. The potential listing follows Ripple's partial legal victory against the SEC last year, which clarified XRP's status as not being a security in programmatic sales. CME's existing crypto derivatives saw record volumes in 2023, with Bitcoin futures averaging $1.54 billion daily and Ethereum futures $542 million per day. Analysts note that institutional adoption of XRP futures could provide price stability and new hedging opportunities for market participants. The development comes as Ripple continues expanding its cross-border payment solutions, recently partnering with major financial institutions across Europe and Asia.
