Bitnomial now accepts RLUSD and XRP as margin collateral, becoming the first U.S.-regulated clearinghouse to accept stablecoins for derivatives.

Summary

Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange and clearinghouse based in Chicago, announced it is the first U.S. registered derivatives clearing organization to accept stablecoins as margin collateral.
