John Deaton, a well-respected attorney and former U.S. Senate candidate, recently acknowledged the global scale of XRP adoption, emphasizing its institutional growth and strong retail base. His remarks followed a post by ETF specialist Nate Geraci, who noted that CME Group’s XRP futures contracts have surpassed $1 billion in open interest, the fastest contract ever to reach that milestone, achieving it within three months. Geraci also highlighted the $800 million already tied up in futures-based XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Deaton responded by stressing the significance of XRP’s user base and its impact on related markets. He stated, “I predicted this just like I predicted Gemini’s XRP Card would be Gemini’s most popular credit card,” referencing Gemini’s recently launched XRP rewards card backed by Mastercard and issued by WebBank. Deaton added that he believes XRP holders helped drive Gemini’s mobile application to surpass Coinbase’s app in recent download figures.

He stressed that such collective legal involvement was unprecedented in the crypto industry. Other experts have emphasized the role of the community, noting that XRP may not have succeeded the way it did without its passionate community . For Deaton, the involvement of this global community is a direct indicator of sustained retail demand that complements growing institutional interest. The combination of CME futures activity, ETF inflows, and consumer-facing products like the Gemini XRP credit card suggests that demand is not confined to one area of the market. While futures growth demonstrates rising interest from institutional traders, retail adoption continues to expand rapidly.

The approval of such funds would provide regulated exposure to XRP, potentially broadening access for both institutional and retail investors. Taken together, the rising demand across derivatives, ETFs, consumer products, and community engagement shows the rising demand for XRP. Deaton’s remarks emphasize that both grassroots and institutional participation are reinforcing one another, contributing to a broader ecosystem of demand that could translate to substantial price growth in the short and long term.
