Ripple首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse对CME集团交易平台上XRP期货的推出做出了反应

这表明，尽管XRP自2012年以来就已经存在，并且记录了量增加的量，但CME集团（CME Group）等衍生品市场已经停滞了为硬币推出未来的产品。

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首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse对CME Group的交易平台上XRP期货的推出做出了反应，这表明该产品早就应该了。

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首席执行官在昨天的一份声明中承认推出XRP期货的延迟，并指出该产品“以多种方式过期”。

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.

这表明，尽管XRP自2012年以来就已经存在，并且量增加了，但CME集团（CME Group）等衍生市场的推出很慢，无法为硬币推出未来的产品。尽管延迟了如此延迟，但Garlinghouse将CME Group的XRP期货描述为增强XRP市场增长的关键一步。

“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.

“对于XRP增长来说，请CME Group的期货产品推出非常重要。我们对该产品感到兴奋，并相信它将为XRP市场带来新水平的机构参与。拥有专业的投资者和对冲基金能够轻松地通过CME Group轻松地分配给XRP，这是广泛的加密生态系统的重要时机，” 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期货可以为专业投资者和对冲基金开放，以采用XRP。该产品还将为投资者提供一种受到监管的方式，以使XRP接触XRP，同时还为诸如现货ETF之类的未来产品奠定了基础。

CME Confirms XRP Futures Launch

CME确认XRP期货发布

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）的声明是在CME Group确认将在其交易平台上推出XRP期货的几个小时。正如Crypto Basic报道的那样，CME集团将于5月19日启动XRP期货，待获得美国CFTC的监管批准。

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.

该产品将使投资者间接接触XRP，因为他们可以对冲其未来的价格变动而无需拥有或设置区块链钱包。

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期货将有两个单独的合同规模：Micro XRP期货（MXP）和XRP期货（XRP）。后者是为机构参与者设计的，合同规模为50,000 XRP。相比之下，微型版本适合零售投资者，合同规模为2500 XRP。

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

期货也将是现金分配的，这意味着合同到期后的投资者将获得现金而不是实体XRP。

CME Becomes Third Derivatives Exchange to Launch XRP Futures

CME成为启动XRP期货的第三个衍生品交换

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.

一旦该产品于5月19日上线，CME Group将成为美国在美国推出XRP期货的第三个衍生品市场。 Bitnomial和Coinbase已经为美国投资者提供了类似的XRP产品。

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.

尽管Bitnomial于3月20日推出了XRP期货，但Coinbase于4月21日推出了该产品。尤其是，鉴于该平台是世界上最大的衍生品交易所，CME Group即将推出XRP Futures在CME集团上很重要。

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，目前提供与比特币，以太坊和索拉纳相关的三个加密期货的CME在2025年第一季度的平均交易量为198,000个合同。

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.

鉴于CME在衍生品市场中的地位，其决定推出XRP期货的决定将进一步提高硬币的信誉，这可能会导致XRP市场的持续增长，如Garlinghouse所暗示的那样。

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.

期货产品还可以促进XRP ETF在美国的推出。值得注意的是，SEC通常考虑加密资产在批准ETF之前是否具有期货产品。去年，SEC遵循了这一措施，当时它批准了比特币和以太坊的现场ETF。
