XRP期货合约于2025年5月19日在芝加哥商业交易所（CME）集团上启动

市场上第四大加密货币XRP是一个主要里程碑，因为芝加哥商业交易集团（CME）定于2025年5月19日推出XRP Futures。

The fourth biggest cryptocurrency of the market, XRP, is up for a major milestone, as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange group (CME) is set to launch XRP futures on May 19, 2025. CME is the world’s largest derivative market, so this decision could bring a lot of opportunity for the altcoin, especially as the XRP price attempts recovery from the earlier crash.

Before CME launches the futures, let’s discuss five key details around it.

在CME推出期货之前，让我们讨论围绕它的五个关键细节。

5 Not-to-Miss Things About CME Group XRP Futures

5关于CME Group XRP期货的不合适的事情

The official XRP futures launch is just days away, but the hype is rising even now. It is the first ever introduction of the Ripple token on one of the biggest traditional financial systems around the world. Interestingly, these contracts are cash settled, which means that the users would not actually have to hold XRP. Instead, they would simply bet on the XRP price movement and settle the trade with normal currency (U.S. Dollar).

XRP官方的期货发布仅几天之遥，但即使现在，炒作也在上升。这是有史以来首次在全球最大的传统金融体系之一上引入Ripple令牌。有趣的是，这些合同是现金解决的，这意味着用户实际上不必持有XRP。取而代之的是，他们只会下注XRP价格转移，并用正常货币（美元）解决交易。

It will be in two different versions, allowing investors to choose according to their capabilities. One includes the standard CME group XRP futures (XRP), where the contract size is 50,000 XRP per contract. And the other is a Micro one (MXP), having 25,0 HERper contract. The latter one is more accessible for the smaller traders.

它将使用两个不同的版本，使投资者可以根据其功能进行选择。其中包括标准CME组XRP期货（XRP），其中合同规模为每份合同50,000 XRP。另一个是微型（MXP），有25,0 Herper合同。后者对于较小的交易者更容易获得。

Another thing to note is that the prices will be tracked on CME’s own XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, published at 4 p.m. daily, London time.

要注意的另一件事是，价格将在CME自己的XRP-Bollar参考率上进行跟踪，该参考率每天下午4点在伦敦时间发布。

The Global Head of Crypto Products at CME, Giovanni Vicios, claims that this decision is made considering the rising institutional and retail demand for the Ripple token product. Recently, Teucrium launched a 2x XRP ETF. Even Robinhood is considering plans to introduce Ripple futures on its platform.

CME的全球加密产品负责人Giovanni Vicios声称，考虑到涟漪令牌产品的机构和零售需求不断上升。最近，Teucrium推出了2x XRP ETF。即使是Robinhood也在考虑在其平台上引入Ripple Futures的计划。

More importantly, this launch is part of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange group’s bigger plan, expanding into more altcoin derivatives.

更重要的是，此次发布是芝加哥商业交易集团更大计划的一部分，扩展到了更多的山寨衍生物。

Why is This CME Group XRP Future Launch a Big Deal?

为什么这个CME Group XRP Future推出了很大的推动？

CME launching Ripple tokens’ futures is the first ever listing of the cryptocurrency on the traditional financial market. However, this is just there’s more to it. The SEC has not approved the XRP ETF due to the regulatory issues with the asset. Interestingly, experts like Hunt believe CME’s move could strengthen the case for XRP ETF approval, as its influence is huge.

CME推出Ripple代币的未来是传统金融市场上加密货币的首次上市。但是，这还有更多。由于资产的监管问题，SEC尚未批准XRP ETF。有趣的是，像Hunt这样的专家相信CME的举动可以加强XRP ETF批准的案例，因为其影响很大。

Moreover, Paul Atkins is the new SEC Chairman after Senate approval. So, better events regarding regulatory clarity of the Ripple vs SEC, ETF, and the XRP price are anticipated.

此外，保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）是参议院批准后的新任SEC主席。因此，预计Ripple与SEC，ETF和XRP价格的有关监管清晰度的更好事件。

At present, the token trades at $2.20, but investors await the Ripple price hitting $10 amid such bullish cases.

目前，代币的交易价格为2.20美元，但投资者在此类看涨案件中等待着连续性价格达到10美元。
