We’re now enabling institutions to access onchain derivatives liquidity through @HyperliquidX in a streamlined and secure way. Customers can also efficiently cross-margin crypto with all asset classes supported by our prime…

The partnership grants clients access to onchain derivatives on the DEX and allows them to manage perpetual futures positions alongside exposures in other markets.
Meanwhile, the brokerage service remains the sole counterparty for the user, even when trading on a decentralized exchange.
The integration marks Ripple Prime’s debut in the decentralized finance sector, the company noted. According to the firm’s statement, this move reflects a growing trend: institutional players are increasingly entering such markets, preferring to access onchain platforms through familiar models.
Ripple Prime plans to expand support for centralized and decentralized liquidity sources as institutional client interest grows.
“At Ripple Prime, we aim to lead at the intersection of decentralized finance and traditional prime brokerage services. Our solution directly supports trading, yield opportunities, and engagement with a broader range of digital assets,” stated Ripple Prime CEO Michael Higgins.
The platform emerged following Ripple’s acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion in October 2025.
According to the company’s website, the structure currently serves over 300 institutional clients and generates more than $3 trillion annually.
Since the announcement of the deal, Ripple Prime’s business has tripled. Services include clearing, prime brokerage, and financing in forex, digital assets, derivatives, swaps, and fixed income markets.
XRP and the stablecoin RLUSD are key elements of the product ecosystem.
In late January, Ripple launched a platform for corporate treasuries.
