Ripple’s US Prime Brokerage Launch Accelerates After Hidden Road Acquisition

Ripple has officially launched its U.S. spot prime brokerage platform, marking a significant step into institutional services.

The rollout follows its acquisition of Hidden Road, which has now been integrated into what is branded as Ripple Prime. The platform allows institutional clients in the U.S. to execute over-the-counter (OTC) spot transactions across a range of digital assets and to cross-margin these with existing holdings and derivatives, including swaps and futures.

By combining Hidden Road’s brokerage infrastructure with Ripple’s asset-services portfolio. The company is positioning itself as a full-service partner for institutions seeking exposure to digital assets. Ripple says the new offering also enhances utility for its own stablecoin and token ecosystem, signalling a push to merge traditional trading workflows with blockchain-enabled financial tools.
