CFTC No-Action Update on Feb 6, 2026 Clears Margin Path for RLUSD, XRP

On February 6, 2026, the CFTC staff updated its no‑action stance to let futures commission merchants accept payment stablecoins and other non‑securities as margin under defined risk controls. Commentators point to RLUSD and XRP at Bitnomial as immediate examples, while a December 12, 2025 conditional OCC approval for Ripple’s national trust bank is cited as part of a broader institutional thesis.
