COINBASE ACTIVATES XRP FUTURES TRADE AT SETTLEMENT ON MAY 1, PUTS XRP ON SAME FOOTING AS BTC AND ETH

@coinbase filed with the CFTC to activate Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on May 1, covering both nano XRP and full-sized contracts.

TAS lets institutional block traders execute large orders at the official daily settlement price rather than fighting live intraday prices. It's a standard tool in traditional commodity futures markets.

The move puts XRP on the same TAS footing as Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and crude oil on Coinbase Derivatives.

It comes after ripple:native was classified as a digital commodity in March under the joint SEC-CFTC framework, and as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee.
