CEO of Ripple: The launch of XRP futures on CME is a milestone for the crypto market
DeepTech TechFlow reports that on April 26, according to FinanceFeeds, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) announced plans to launch futures contracts on $XRP, making XRP the third major digital asset traded on the platform after Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, stated on the social platform X that this is a "decisive moment," which not only validates XRP's status as a mature investment asset but also enhances its liquidity, stabilizes volatility, and attracts more institutional investors. Analysts believe this move could eventually lead to the introduction of ETFs related to XRP or other structured products, marking the recognition of utility tokens on major global financial platforms.
