<p>Just today CF Benchmarks has introduced a reference rate for Ripple’s XRP and Internet Computer (ICP). This move by the governing body earned praise from <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/04/08/how-precise-is-the-prediction-of-ripples-ceo-on-crypto-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple CEO</a> Brad Garlinghouse.</p>
<p>Many in the space are of the opinion that this is great progress towards offering price data to market makers and opening up the door for institutional crypto offerings.</p>
<p>The <strong>Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)</strong> said it is launching new reference rates and real-time indices for XRP and ICP. The launch, planned for July 29, attempts to provide clear and pricing information to help users determine accurate portfolio values. This prompted conversations regarding the possibility of an XRP ETF being launched.</p>
<p>Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group’s Global Head of Crypto Products, said that with the inclusion of XRP and ICP, CME Group’s suite now includes 24 cryptos. This account for more than 93% of the total market capitalization of investable cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The benchmarks for XRP and <strong>ICP</strong>, consequently, will derive pricing data from crypto exchanges such as Bitstamp, Coinbase, and Kraken. This gives market confidence that data provided are accurate and reliable because the daily reference rates for the USD price of every asset are published at 4:00 p.m.</p>
<p>Consequently, the creation of these benchmarks is an essential step toward the possible launching of an <strong>XRP ETF</strong>. Moreover, as per Bloomberg ETF analyst, the XRP ETF will be determined by the availability of the digital asset in a derivative exchange such as CME.&nbsp;Concurrently, Ripple president Monica Long stated her support of an <strong>XRP</strong> ETF.</p>
