Ripple Prime has been listed on the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) clearing directory, marking a significant advancement in Ripple's institutional strategy. This development embeds Ripple's nonbank prime brokerage within the core U.S. post-trade infrastructure, strengthening its bridge between digital assets and traditional markets. Mike Higgins, CEO of Ripple Prime, highlighted the listing as a crucial step for the firm's growth, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of capital markets. The integration follows Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road in 2025, making it the first crypto-native firm to own a global multi-asset prime broker. Ripple Prime now operates across digital and traditional trading venues, supporting digital assets, foreign exchange, fixed income, and derivatives under one brokerage structure. This move is expected to drive additional post-trade activity onto the XRP Ledger, aligning traditional workflows with blockchain infrastructure. Additionally, Ripple Prime has integrated support for Hyperliquid to expand institutional access to on-chain liquidity, allowing clients to access decentralized derivatives while managing exposures across asset classes. The partnership with Hex Trust aims to enhance custody standards for Wrapped XRP, further extending XRP's presence across multiple blockchains and strengthening infrastructure for regulated participation in tokenized asset markets.
