"Since launching CME futures in May 2025, the token hit $1 billion in open interest by August, the fastest-ever CME contract to reach that milestone. By late October, XRP's open interest climbed to a record 9,900 contracts. Add in over $906 million flowing into new XRP ETFs in 14 consecutive days, and XRP's building real infrastructure that institutions can actually use."
"CME futures opened a new door for institutions that need regulated exposure to XRP. The setup works like what Bitcoin and Ethereum went through before their ETF launches brought them mainstream legitimacy. XRP's futures contract settles through a regulated benchmark that the CFTC oversees. This means when institutions buy in, it shows real interest instead of just retail speculation. Combined XRP and Solana futures open interest reached $3 billion by early November, with XRP showing the fastest growth of any new CME contract."
