XRP futures? Nope, didn’t get that memo….

So, it transpires there has been a futures market for Ripple Lab’s cryptocurrency for the last 18 months.

Crypto Facilities, based in the UK, has been operating a futures market for the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency for almost 18 months now.

And while the company’s CEO, Timo Schlaefer, has been tight-lipped about the product so far, he sees trends in recent data that indicate broader XRP futures adoption may be on the horizon.

Yet, few outside the firm’s own pool of investors even knew the futures were being traded, much less with that kind of volume. Now, that appears to be changing with the company on track for another positive month, and others exploring the contracts.

“The liquidity has been growing quite a lot,” Schlaefer said, adding:

“We have seen our volume growing through February and expect March to set a new record.”
