CME Group on Thursday said it would introduce XRP futures on its derivatives marketplace for clients next month.
The new product will allow clients to trade both a micro-sized contract of 2,500 XRP, and a larger-sized contract of 50,000 XRP.
XRP is the fourth biggest cryptocurrency by market cap and was recently trading for $2.19 per coin after a 4% 24-hour dip, according to CoinGecko.
CME Group is the world's biggest derivative marketplace. Futures are a type of contract allowing an investor to buy or sell the underlying asset at a given price at a predetermined expiration date.
