Coinbase will launch Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on May 1. This feature allows institutional traders to execute large block orders at the official daily settlement price. The tool, already available for Bitcoin and gold, reduces price volatility risks.
The SEC and CFTC jointly classified XRP as a digital commodity in March 2026. This classification provided the regulatory clarity required for institutional-grade products.
A recent survey indicates that 25% of institutional investors plan to add XRP to their portfolios in 2026. This expansion aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to enhance its institutional execution capabilities.
