Digital asset derivatives exchange Bitnomial has announced the launch of the first-ever XRP futures regulated by the CFTC
In addition, the firm has also dropped its lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

As reported by U.Today, the SEC dropped its appeal against Ripple earlier today, ending the multi-year legal battle
