) What's new tomorrow (May 1, 2026): The big XRP news isn't a new Base listing — it's the launch of Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures on Coinbase Derivatives. Coinbase filed with the CFTC on April 21 to roll out TAS for XRP futures starting May 1, placing XRP on the same footing as Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and crude oil. (24/7 Wall St.) TAS lets traders execute XRP futures at official settlement prices rather than live fluctuating markets, reducing intraday volatility risk — a feature primarily targeting institutional block trades. (KuCoin) Broader context: In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC jointly classified XRP as a digital commodity alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana — a binding federal ruling. (24/7 Wall St.) This paved the way for the TAS feature. So in short — if you saw news about XRP on Base "tomorrow," it may be referring to the TAS derivatives launch on May 1, not a brand-new Base listing (since cbXRP has been live there since mid-2025).
