Bitnomial Adds RLUSD and XRP as Margin Collateral, Expanding Crypto Derivatives Offerings

Bitnomial, a Chicago-based derivatives exchange regulated by the CFTC, has announced that it will accept RLUSD and XRP as margin collateral for its crypto derivatives. This move makes Bitnomial the first registered U.S. derivatives clearing organization to permit stablecoins and XRP for margin deposits. Institutional traders can now use these assets for leveraged perpetuals, futures, and options on the platform. Retail access will be available through Bitnomial's Botanical trading platform. This development follows Bitnomial's September 2025 introduction of crypto margin deposits, allowing the use of digital assets as native margin. The company aims to provide a capital-efficient solution for crypto-native funds and institutional traders while ensuring compliance with U.S. regulations.
