The launch of XRP futures contracts on the CME Group enhances liquidity and ETF opportunities. CME will launch XRP futures contracts on May 19, introducing both large and small contracts for greater trading flexibility.

While optimistic, XRP still faces challenges, with demand falling to a five-month low and network activity stalled. CME is set to launch futures trading on XRP on May 19, pending regulatory review.
