History

Historical Context

The launch of Bitcoin Futures by the Chicago Board Options Exchange in December 2017 marked a significant milestone in cryptocurrency trading, coinciding with Bitcoin's price surge to nearly $20,000. However, this boom was followed by the 2018 cryptocurrency crash, where Bitcoin's value plummeted by about 65% within a month, reflecting the volatility and investor uncertainty that continues to challenge cryptocurrencies like XRP today.
