Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse對CME集團交易平台上XRP期貨的推出做出了反應

這表明，儘管XRP自2012年以來就已經存在，並且記錄了量增加的量，但CME集團（CME Group）等衍生品市場已經停滯了為硬幣推出未來的產品。

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has reacted to the upcoming launch of XRP futures on CME Group’s trading platform, suggesting that the product is long overdue.

Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse對CME Group的交易平台上XRP期貨的推出做出了反應，這表明該產品早就應該了。

In a statement yesterday, the Ripple CEO acknowledged the delay in launching XRP futures, noting that the product is ‘overdue in a bunch of ways.’

Ripple首席執行官在昨天的一份聲明中承認推出XRP期貨的延遲，並指出該產品“以多種方式過期”。

This suggests that although XRP has existed since 2012 and has seen increased volumes, derivative marketplaces like CME Group have been slow to launch future products for the coin. Despite this delay, Garlinghouse described CME Group’s XRP futures as a crucial step in enhancing the growth of the XRP market.

這表明，儘管XRP自2012年以來就已經存在，並且量增加了，但CME集團（CME Group）等衍生市場的推出很慢，無法為硬幣推出未來的產品。儘管延遲瞭如此延遲，但Garlinghouse將CME Group的XRP期貨描述為增強XRP市場增長的關鍵一步。

“It’s incredibly important for XRP growth to have CME Group’s futures product launch. We’re excited about this product and believe it will bring new levels of institutional participation to the XRP market. Having professional investors and hedge funds be able to easily allocate to XRP through CME Group is a huge moment for the broader crypto ecosystem,” Garlinghouse said.

“對於XRP增長來說，請CME Group的期貨產品推出非常重要。我們對該產品感到興奮，並相信它將為XRP市場帶來新水平的機構參與。擁有專業的投資者和對沖基金能夠輕鬆地通過CME Group輕鬆地分配給XRP，這是廣泛的加密生態系統的重要時機，” Garlinghouse表示。 ”

CME Group’s XRP futures could open doors for professional investors and hedge funds to adopt XRP. The product would also provide a regulated way for investors to gain exposure to XRP, while also setting the stage for future offerings like spot ETFs.

CME Group的XRP期貨可以為專業投資者和對沖基金開放，以採用XRP。該產品還將為投資者提供一種受到監管的方式，以使XRP接觸XRP，同時還為諸如現貨ETF之類的未來產品奠定了基礎。

CME Confirms XRP Futures Launch

CME確認XRP期貨發布

Garlinghouse’s statement comes a few hours after CME Group confirmed that it would be launching XRP futures on its trading platform. As The Crypto Basic reported, CME Group will launch the XRP futures on May 19, pending regulatory approval from the U.S. CFTC.

加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）的聲明是在CME Group確認將在其交易平台上推出XRP期貨的幾個小時。正如Crypto Basic報導的那樣，CME集團將於5月19日啟動XRP期貨，待獲得美國CFTC的監管批准。

The product would give investors indirect exposure to XRP as they can hedge against its future price movement without needing to own it or set up a blockchain wallet.

該產品將使投資者間接接觸XRP，因為他們可以對沖其未來的價格變動而無需擁有或設置區塊鏈錢包。

CME Group’s XRP futures will come in two separate contract sizes: Micro XRP futures (MXP) and XRP futures (XRP). The latter is designed for institutional players, with a contract size of 50,000 XRP. In comparison, the micro version is suitable for retail investors, boasting a contract size of 2,500 XRP.

CME Group的XRP期貨將有兩個單獨的合同規模：Micro XRP期貨（MXP）和XRP期貨（XRP）。後者是為機構參與者設計的，合同規模為50,000 XRP。相比之下，微型版本適合零售投資者，合同規模為2500 XRP。

The futures will also be cash-settled, meaning that investors will receive cash instead of physical XRP when the contract expires.

期貨也將是現金分配的，這意味著合同到期後的投資者將獲得現金而不是實體XRP。

CME Becomes Third Derivatives Exchange to Launch XRP Futures

CME成為啟動XRP期貨的第三個衍生品交換

Once the product goes live on May 19, CME Group will become the third derivative marketplace to launch XRP futures in the United States. Bitnomial and Coinbase already offer similar XRP products to U.S. investors.

一旦該產品於5月19日上線，CME Group將成為美國在美國推出XRP期貨的第三個衍生品市場。 Bitnomial和Coinbase已經為美國投資者提供了類似的XRP產品。

While Bitnomial launched its XRP futures on March 20, Coinbase rolled out the product on April 21. Notably, the upcoming launch of XRP futures on CME Group is significant for the coin, given that the platform is the largest derivatives exchange in the world.

儘管Bitnomial於3月20日推出了XRP期貨，但Coinbase於4月21日推出了該產品。尤其是，鑑於該平台是世界上最大的衍生品交易所，CME Group即將推出XRP Futures在CME集團上很重要。

For context, CME, which currently offers three crypto futures tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, recorded an average trading volume of 198,000 contracts in Q1 2025.

在上下文中，目前提供與比特幣，以太坊和索拉納相關的三個加密期貨的CME在2025年第一季度的平均交易量為198,000個合同。

Given CME’s position in the derivatives market, its decision to launch XRP futures would further enhance the coin’s credibility, potentially leading to the continued growth of the XRP market, as Garlinghouse suggests.

鑑於CME在衍生品市場中的地位，其決定推出XRP期貨的決定將進一步提高硬幣的信譽，這可能會導致XRP市場的持續增長，如Garlinghouse所暗示的那樣。

The futures product could also facilitate the launch of the XRP ETF in the United States. It is worth noting that the SEC usually considers whether a crypto asset has a futures product before it approves it for an ETF. The SEC followed this measure when it approved Bitcoin and Ethereum for spot ETFs last year.

期貨產品還可以促進XRP ETF在美國的推出。值得注意的是，SEC通常考慮加密資產在批准ETF之前是否具有期貨產品。去年，SEC遵循了這一措施，當時它批准了比特幣和以太坊的現場ETF。
