CME Gains Share of XRP Futures Open Interest as Token Rallies

CME’s share of the XRP futures market has increased as the token advanced roughly 40% over one week, according to CoinDesk. Open positions in XRP futures held outside CME declined by more than 500 million tokens over a two-week period. At the same time, exposure on CME, the regulated U.S. exchange, rose by approximately 36%. The shift has lifted CME’s relative share of outstanding XRP futures positions while XRP moved toward $1.40. The figures point to a change in where futures-market exposure is being held during the recent rally, with positions outside CME shrinking as CME-linked exposure expanded. The data covers outstanding futures positions and does not indicate whether the overall market increased or decreased during the period.
