Ripple’s expansion
Ripple Prime, the rebranded platform that followed Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, is the new home of various spot digital asset products.
The offering, which taps into the blockchain firm’s licenses as well as Hidden Road’s solutions, will see customers access products across foreign exchange, crypto, derivatives, swaps and fixed income. Apart from cross-margin OTC spot, U.S. clients will have access to OTC swaps, CME futures and options.
“The launch of OTC spot execution capabilities complements our existing suite of OTC and cleared derivatives services in digital assets and positions us to provide U.S. institutions with a comprehensive offering to suit their trading strategies and needs,” said Michael Higgins, International CEO, Ripple Prime.
Ripple Prime adds to the company’s list of other solutions, including cross-border payments, custody, and stablecoins.
The brokerage platform, like these solutions, is set to expand the adoption and utility of the XRP cryptocurrency and the RLUSD stablecoin. As the regulatory environment improves, support for innovation and adoption is gaining traction.
Ripple looks to be one of the top players in the ecosystem as traditional finance comes onchain.
