The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is set to launch XRP futures on May 19, signaling growing institutional interest. Historically, futures have paved the way for ETFs, as seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum. With Ripple gaining legal clarity, XRP's price has surged to nearly $2.50, and whales have accumulated $1.66 billion recently. XRP's current $146.5 billion market cap could rise significantly if ETF capital flows in. South Korean traders are already heavily investing, showing strong momentum, but caution is advised regarding futures contracts.
