Ripple Prime makes giant strides Ripple Prime , formerly known as Hidden Road, was acquired by Ripple in April 2025 and is regarded as one of the largest non-bank prime brokers globally, clearing over $3 trillion annually across over 300 institutional clients.

He cited three factors contributing to this growth: Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin's 24/7 collateral movement, a horizontal clearing infrastructure, and cross-margining across asset classes, which he said can reduce a $12.5 million margin requirement to about $1 million.

Higgins also noted a growth in clientele from crypto-native trading firms toward hedge funds, asset managers, pensions, and endowments, supported by increasing regulatory clarity under the GENIUS Act and the pending CLARITY Act. Short-term priorities include enabling new collateral types such as tokenized money market funds and a "Delta One" equities business, while the long-term focus is on industry standardization. #Ripple Prime #Ripple News #ripple
