Ripple is extending its institutional trading infrastructure into decentralized finance with a new integration that connects its prime brokerage platform to an onchain derivatives venue, reflecting a broader push to align traditional market structure with emerging digital rails.
The company said Ripple Prime, its institutional prime brokerage platform, now supports Hyperliquid, a decentralized derivatives protocol built for high-throughput trading. The integration allows institutional clients to access onchain derivatives liquidity while cross-margining those exposures alongside other asset classes already supported within Ripple Prime.
That unified margin framework covers digital assets, foreign exchange, fixed income instruments, over-the-counter swaps, and cleared derivatives. The goal is to let institutions treat decentralized derivatives activity as part of a single portfolio view, rather than a siloed allocation that requires separate capital and risk management.
