Momentum has been building around XRP throughout 2025. A recent development in the U.S. exchange placed the asset in a new category. Abs Nassif opened his Good Evening Crypto show by stating that “XRP just got the green light to be used as collateral in the USA.” He highlighted the partnership between Ripple and Bitnomial, which began with Ripple’s $25 million investment in 2024. XRP is now accepted as margin collateral on a CFTC-regulated exchange. Nassif noted that this puts XRP in the same position as Bitcoin and Gold. ALERT: CFTC APPROVES $XRP AS COLLATERAL LIKE BITCOIN & GOLD! 72 HOURS COUNTDOWN STARTS NOW! CLICK BELOW TO WATCH NOW!! https://t.co/n8ovjjN4eh — Good Evening Crypto (@AbsGMCrypto) December 6, 2025 XRP Becomes Collateral on a CFTC-Regulated Exchange In November, Bitnomial became the first U.S.-regulated derivatives clearing organization to accept stablecoins as collateral with RLUSD. It went further and added XRP. Traders can now use XRP for leverage, futures, options, and perpetual trading. This improves capital efficiency since users don’t need to convert XRP into fiat for margin. This strengthens XRP’s role in a trusted, compliant U.S. framework. Why Collateral Use Helps XRP Nassif described this shift as a path to greater utility because the asset can move directly into collateral functions that support high-volume activity. Johnny Krypto, his co-host, said that using XRP as collateral keeps it off the market. He noted that “you’re kind of locking it up” when you place tokens as margin for trades. This reduces selling pressure and can lead to a tighter supply. A potential supply shock as demand grows. He also said the move supports a long-term goal for XRP holders. It allows the asset to be multipurpose. It no longer sits only in payment corridors. It now fills a role in a regulated derivatives market with high trading volume.

This legal battle held back adoption. With that threat gone , he sees a growth of real use cases. A second clip featured Teucrium CEO Sal Gilberti. Gilbertie pointed to Ripple’s work with global banks and the increasing adoption of XRP. He believes usage on the XRPL will rise once the Clarity Act passes in 2026 because banks need a clear set of rules before they move forward. Nassif ended by noting that XRP trades in oversold territory while new ETFs have already gathered over $1 billion in assets. These products removed 473 million tokens from exchanges. He said the CFTC approval adds another path for demand and places XRP in a stronger spot as institutions expand their activity in the sector.
