Catenaa, Sunday, November 09, 2025-Ripple has entered the US digital asset prime brokerage market, launching Ripple Prime, a platform enabling institutional clients to execute spot over-the-counter (OTC) trades across major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including XRP and RLUSD.
The launch follows Ripple’s October acquisition of multi-asset broker Hidden Road, which has been rebranded under the Ripple Prime umbrella.
The integration combines Ripple’s blockchain network with Hidden Road’s established brokerage operations in foreign exchange, derivatives, and fixed income.
Ripple Prime aims to provide a one-stop institutional trading solution by offering OTC spot execution, cross-margining, and multi-asset settlement within a regulated environment.
US-based institutions can now manage digital asset spot, swaps, and CME futures and options positions through a single account structure.
Executives said the platform is designed to resolve liquidity fragmentation and improve collateral efficiency in crypto markets by merging spot and derivatives trading under one system.
The launch strengthens Ripple’s institutional ecosystem, which already includes Ripple Payments for cross-border transactions and Ripple Custody for digital asset storage.
The company’s RLUSD stablecoin has also surpassed a $1 billion market capitalization since its 2024 debut.
Founded in 2012, Ripple said its expanded infrastructure marks a milestone in bridging blockchain-based finance with traditional markets through compliance-driven innovation.
