XRP Takes Center Stage: Hashdex Launches World’s First Spot ETF, CME to Follow with Futures

In a landmark move for cryptocurrency adoption, Hashdex has officially launched XRPH11, the world’s first spot XRP ETF, on Brazil’s B3 exchange. This ETF allocates 95% of its assets directly to XRP, tracking the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index. Managed in collaboration with Genial Investimentos, XRPH11 offers investors a regulated avenue to gain exposure to XRP without the complexities of direct crypto ownership.  

Simultaneously, the CME Group, a leading derivatives marketplace, announced plans to introduce XRP futures contracts on May 19, 2025, pending regulatory approval. These cash-settled futures will be available in two sizes: micro contracts of 2,500 XRP and larger contracts of 50,000 XRP. This initiative aims to cater to growing institutional interest and provide sophisticated tools for risk management in the evolving crypto market.   

These developments signify a significant stride in integrating XRP into mainstream financial instruments, potentially enhancing liquidity and investor confidence. As XRP continues to gain traction, these offerings could pave the way for broader acceptance and utilization in global markets.
