XRP has recently achieved a significant milestone in the derivatives market and has attracted market attention. CME Trade XRP and Micro XRP futures totaled over $1.6 billion in total since their official launch, indicating a growing demand for regulated XRP investment products.
XRP Futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) derivatives platform in May, becoming the first regulated futures to track US XRP prices

The launch began with two contract sizes for XRP: the Micro Futures 2,500 XRP and the standard futures 50,000 XRP are based on the SME CF XRP dollar reference rate, which tracks the price of the XRP.
On July 11, the XRP contract trading on CME reported a daily concept trading volume of $235 million, setting a new record for Futures Suite.
This surge has pushed the total concept volume beyond the $1.6 billion mark. This is a great feat in a relatively short period of time. On this date, more than 9,100 contracts were traded, marking more than 82 million XRP equivalents, and the volume of microXRP contracts reached record.
These numbers not only reflect the interests of powerful traders, but also examine XRP’s presence in the facility market. With both standard and micro-sized contracts available, XRP futures gain interest from hedge funds to individual speculators.
The XRP Futures ETF is scheduled to start during the day
The ProShares XRP Futures ETF is scheduled to be released on July 18th and has introduced a new capital allocation vector, particularly for its pension and donation portfolio.
At press time, XRP fell 3.4% to $2.91 over the past 24 hours.
If regulations become more clarified and ProShares ETF vehicles gain traction, XRP could see a new influx and expand its institutional benefits.
