This partnership provides clients access to on-chain derivatives from the DEX and allows them to manage positions in perpetual futures alongside exposures in other markets.

Moreover, the brokerage service acts as the sole counterparty for users, even when trading on a decentralized exchange.

The integration marks Ripple Prime's debut in decentralized finance, as noted by the company. According to their statement, this move reflects a growing trend: institutional players are increasingly entering these markets, preferring to access on-chain platforms through familiar models.

Ripple Prime plans to expand support for both centralized and decentralized liquidity sources as interest from institutional clients grows.

“At Ripple Prime, we aim to be leaders 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,” said Ripple Prime CEO Michael Higgins.

The platform emerged following Ripple's acquisition of the prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion in October 2025.

According to data from 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 stablecoin RLUSD are key components of the product ecosystem.

As a reminder, at the end of January, Ripple launched a platform for corporate treasuries.
