Ripple Prime, the newly rebranded arm of Ripple following its $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, has been listed on the DTCC’s National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) directory. This strategic move aims to transition significant institutional post-trade volume to the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a pivotal step in Ripple's efforts to bridge traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi). The integration with NSCC, a key component of the U.S. financial market infrastructure, allows Ripple Prime to leverage the speed and cost-efficiency of the XRPL. This development follows Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road, which previously cleared $3 trillion annually for over 300 institutional clients. Ripple Prime is now set to utilize its RLUSD stablecoin as collateral across its prime brokerage offerings, further embedding itself into the financial ecosystem.
