XRP became the first altcoin to gain institutional-grade settlement infrastructure after Coinbase officially launched Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on May 1. The feature allows institutions to execute large block trades at the official 4 PM settlement price instead of volatile intraday levels, improving execution efficiency. Coinbase also introduced a market maker program to strengthen XRP liquidity. The move matters because it places XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and crude oil futures in institutional trading standards.
