Leadership in the XRP futures market has shifted from Binance to CME.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Coingape on September 1 (local time), CME Group's XRP futures open interest recorded $530 million. This volume surpassed Binance's $510 million. CME has become the world's largest XRP futures trading market based on open interest. CME's XRP futures open interest has swelled to its highest level in the last three months.

Institutional fund inflows changed the game. CME's XRP futures open interest increased sharply from mid-August. It more than doubled from $270 million, at one point nearing $570 million. On August 28, it reached an all-time high of approximately $569 million. Open interest and trading volume also surged simultaneously as the end of the month approached.

Binance's open interest also increased during the same period, but it could not stop CME's pursuit. Binance's XRP futures open interest rose to $598.65 million on August 24. Subsequently, CME rapidly increased its open interest and reclaimed the leading position. Coingape reported that Goldman Sachs has again expanded its holdings of XRP spot ETFs. Major Wall Street financial firms such as JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are also reportedly investing in XRP.

Fund inflows also continued into XRP spot ETFs. Bitwise received $931,000, and Canary received $4.71 million. The total assets under management (AUM) of XRP spot ETFs increased to $1.45 billion, and cumulative net inflows exceeded $1.67 billion. Bitwise's XRP spot ETF surpassed $500 million in AUM just nine months after its launch.
