First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME To List Options On XRP Futures Oct. 13

XRP is drawing strong interest from traditional finance as new products roll out in U.S. securities and derivatives markets. On Sept. 18, REX Shares and Osprey Funds will launch the first XRP and Dogecoin ETFs in the U.S., listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange under tickers XRPR and DOJE. While not “pure” spot products, they combine direct holdings with exposure through non-U.S. spot ETFs. Bloomberg’s James Seyffart said derivatives use is possible but not the main design. The debut marks the first time American brokerage accounts can access XRP and DOGE-focused ETFs, expanding beyond bitcoin and ether.

Momentum continues Oct. 13, when CME Group plans to launch options on XRP and Solana futures, subject to regulatory review. These contracts will be available in standard and “micro” versions, with expiry dates spanning daily to quarterly. The move will broaden crypto hedging and trading tools for institutions, desks, and active traders, deepening XRP’s footprint in U.S. markets.
