Robinhood launched micro futures for XRP and Solana, boosting their market visibility and accessibility.
XRP outperformed the broader crypto market due to the launch of micro futures on Robinhood, greater regulatory clarity from the withdrawal of cross-appeals in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, and other catalysts. Ripple settled with the SEC, paying $125M.
Solana gained attention as XRP ETF odds slipped on Polymarket, with VanEck filing for a Solana ETF targeting a Q3 2025 launch. Firedancer also captured an 8.6% Solana staking share.
