CME Plans to Launch XRP Futures Contracts, Becoming the Third Major Digital Asset

According to Deep Tide TechFlow, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has announced plans to launch XRP futures contracts, making it the third major digital asset to be traded on the platform after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that this is a 'watershed moment' that validates XRP's status as a mature investment asset and will enhance its liquidity and stability. Analysts believe this could lead to the launch of XRP-related ETFs or other structured products, marking the recognition of utility tokens on global top financial platforms.
