CoinEx News: CME Group said on May 14, 2026 that it plans to launch Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures on June 8, pending regulatory review, with the settlement index currently including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK and XLM. The new product will be CME's first market-cap-weighted crypto futures contract, while Santiment-cited on-chain data showed XRP Ledger wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP reached a record 332,230 on May 12.

XRP is gaining both a regulated multi-asset derivatives channel and a stronger large-holder accumulation signal, giving traders a clearer basis to reassess liquidity, hedging demand and positioning around the asset.
