The Crypto Basic reported this week that Coinbase had introduced futures trading for XRP and other three other assets to non-U.S. Advanced clients.
Current XRP Performance Data
According to Coinbase data, the XRP-PERP pool has a 24-hour trading volume of $3,013,528 and a 30-day volume of $50,654,666. Current open interest is pegged at $47,364, the lowest of the four contracts listed by Coinbase.
The other Perpetual Futures Contracts include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. According to the published data, BTC contracts boast the highest volume, with $85.2 million traded. ETH and LTC contracts have recorded $41.5 million and $1.09 million.
In May, Coinbase secured regulatory approval to offer futures contracts to institutional investors outside the U.S. Months later, it received the go-ahead to extend the offering to retail investors. Since the Perpetual Futures Contracts launch, it has recorded a 30-day volume of $3.052 billion, which shows growing momentum.
Bullish Outlook for XRP
Including XRP in the mix demonstrates the growing appeal of the cryptocurrency. With its defined legal status in the U.S., XRP has started getting favored with its inclusion in unique products by top service providers.
This trend aligns with the projection that large institutions can now trade XRP without fear of sanctions. The sustenance of this trend can catalyze a bullish run in the price of XRP shortly.
Currently, XRP is up 7.68%, with its price pegged at $0.5182 and market capitalization at $27.702 billion.
