Catenaa, Saturday, July 05, 2025-Robinhood Markets has launched micro futures contracts for XRP and Solana, broadening its crypto trading offerings with smaller, lower-risk derivatives aimed at retail traders.
The rollout includes a micro version of its existing Bitcoin Friday futures, the company announced Friday.
Micro futures allow traders to speculate on price swings using reduced capital and lowered risk compared to traditional futures contracts.
The product is tailored for investors seeking exposure to digital assets without significant financial commitment.
Robinhood began rolling out its crypto futures line earlier this year with offerings like Bitcoin futures, ETH futures, and micro Bitcoin contracts. The firm says all contracts are cash-settled.
The new XRP and Solana micro futures follow Robinhood’s $200 million acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp, finalized earlier this month.
Analysts say the acquisition, along with potential moves to acquire WonderFi, signals Robinhood’s intent to accelerate international expansion.
The addition of these futures products aligns with Robinhood’s broader strategy to compete in the global crypto trading space by offering diverse and accessible instruments.
It also marks a step forward in integrating mainstream brokerage tools with emerging digital assets.
Robinhood trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker HOOD and has steadily increased its presence in both crypto spot and derivatives markets over the past year.
