Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, retweeted it, saying that having a trusted benchmark reference rate is the first step toward institutional crypto products. Until now, the list included 16 cryptos like Bitcoin, Ether, Avalanche, and Bitcoin Cash. It also featured four DeFi tokens: Aave, Curve, Synthetix, and Uniswap, and three metaverse tokens: Axie Infinity, Decentraland, and Chiliz. With the addition of XRP, the list will now have 24 cryptocurrencies. As the crypto world waits for friendly regulations, XRP being included in this list brings positive sentiment for Ripple and its supporters. This is significant because CME Group is a leading derivatives market and CF Benchmarks is an FCA-regulated benchmark administrator.
