ICC confirms arrest warrant vs Bato dela Rosa

MANILA, Philippines – The International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed on Monday, May 11, that it has issued a warrant against Senator Bato dela Rosa, who appeared at the Senate Monday to join a coup that ousted Senator Tito Sotto as Senate president.
“The International Criminal Court confirms that the document published by national authorities of the Republic of the Philippines and circulated in media is indeed a formal ICC document,” ICC spokesperson ICC Maillet told reporters in a message.
This comes after former senator Antonio Trillanes IV showed up at the Senate on Monday, and showed a copy of the ICC warrant against Dela Rosa.
The senator ran from Trillanes and the National Bureau of Investigation, causing a standoff that prompted a Senate lockdown Monday night. Dela Rosa remained in the Senate as of this writing.
It was the first time in months that Dela Rosa appeared in public. He’s been absent from the Senate since late last year, when Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla said there was an ICC warrant against him.
His appearance — and the coup against Sotto — coincided with the impeachment of his ally, Vice President Sara Duterte, at the House of Representatives. The senators who installed Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as new Senate president are allies of Duterte.
Dela Rosa was recently named by the ICC prosecution as one of Duterte’s indirect co-perpetrators in his crimes against humanity case that covers war on drugs and Davao Death Squad killings.
“This arrest warrant against Mr. Ronald Marapon Dela Rosa was issued confidentially, under seal, by Pre-Trial Chamber I of the ICC on 6 November 2025,” Maillet said. “The ICC is currently in the process of unsealing the warrant of arrest.”
The ICC said on Saturday that there was no “public” warrant against Dela Rosa. By confirming that a warrant exists, the court did not contradict itself, but rather confirmed that the warrant against Dela Rosa was indead under seal or confidential.
Unsealing a warrant is usually done by the ICC for public pressure and to increase the chances of an arrest. – Rappler.com

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October
The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets. The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
