On April 2, Ripple announced that Kroll, a global credit rating agency, assigned Ripple Prime a BBB issuer rating, highlighting the platform's financial strength and expanding prime brokerage operations. This rating applies to Ripple Prime CIV US BD HoldCo LLC and its main operating subsidiary, Hidden Road Partners CIV US LLC, collectively known as Ripple Prime US. The firm, which Ripple Labs acquired for $1.3 billion in 2025, has seen its assets grow to approximately $39 billion, driven by repo activity and derivatives clearing.
