Hyperliquid Integrated into Ripple's Prime Brokerage Platform

Ripple has announced the integration of Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, into its Ripple Prime brokerage platform, enhancing access for institutional clients.

This collaboration enables users to engage with on-chain derivatives liquidity, allowing them to manage perpetual futures positions alongside other financial exposures. By acting as the sole counterparty, Ripple Prime simplifies the trading experience on a decentralized exchange.

This integration represents Ripple Prime's first venture into decentralized finance, highlighting a trend where institutional investors are increasingly exploring on-chain trading through familiar financial frameworks. As institutional interest grows, Ripple Prime is looking to expand its support for both centralized and decentralized liquidity sources.

“At Ripple Prime, we aim to be leaders at the intersection of decentralized finance and traditional prime brokerage services,” said CEO Michael Higgins.

Ripple's move follows its acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion in October 2025 and has already resulted in a tripling of Ripple Prime's business, which now serves over 300 institutional clients and generates more than $3 trillion annually across various markets including forex and derivatives. Key components of the offering include XRP and the stablecoin RLUSD.
