CME XRP futures top $63B notional in year one as XRP holds below $1.40

XRP has remained capped below $1.40 even as derivatives activity accelerates, with futures volume staying above $2 billion alongside about $400 million in spot volume. CME-listed XRP futures have reached $63 billion in notional volume within their first year, totaling 1.32 million contracts representing 28.6 billion XRP as of mid-May. Traders are watching whether a move above $1.50 can shift the downtrend narrative or keep price stuck in consolidation.
