Ripple Prime has joined the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), marking a significant step in integrating with the core infrastructure of U.S. capital markets. This move follows Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road, a prime brokerage firm, in October 2025, which was rebranded as Ripple Prime. By March 2026, Ripple Prime was listed in the DTCC’s NSCC Market Participant Identifiers Directory, allowing it to clear OTC trades and participate in U.S. Treasury repo markets. The DTCC, a pivotal entity in American finance, processes over $2 quadrillion in transactions annually. Ripple Prime's entry into this system positions it alongside major financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. This integration could facilitate the use of blockchain technology, such as the XRP Ledger, in traditional finance, potentially transforming settlement processes. Ripple Prime's recent $200 million financing facility further underscores its ambitions to expand liquidity across crypto and traditional assets.
