Ripple Prime Unleashes Hyperliquid: On-Chain Liquidity Goes Prime

by

Ripple Prime, ever hungry for institutional attention, has invited Hyperliquid to join the merry-go-round of onchain derivatives, letting firms poke at decentralized liquidity while wrangling multi‑asset exposures under one improbably well-behaved prime brokerage framework.

Institutions Just Got New DeFi On-Ramp as Ripple Backs Hyperliquid Liquidity

The expansion of institutional crypto infrastructure continues with the enthusiasm of a wizard discovering a loophole in a brewing vat, as platforms wade into decentralized markets. Ripple, that blockchain-based enterprise solution provider with a taste for grand schemes, announced on Feb. 4 that Ripple Prime added support for Hyperliquid, broadening institutional access to onchain derivatives liquidity.

The announcement states:

“This integration lets institutional clients reach onchain derivatives liquidity while cross-margining decentralized finance ( DeFi ) exposures with all the usual suspects-digital assets, FX, fixed income, OTC swaps, and those neatly cleared derivatives that pretend to be grown-up.”

“By supporting Hyperliquid, Ripple Prime continues its admirable mission to glue traditional finance to decentralized markets, offering institutions seamless access to DeFi venues inside a single, capital‑efficient prime brokerage framework,” Ripple added with a nod and a wink.

International CEO Michael Higgins declared, “At Ripple Prime, we’re buzzing to keep leading the parade of merging decentralized finance with traditional prime brokerage, offering direct support to trading, yield generation, and a broader choir of digital assets. This strategic extension into DeFi will boost our clients’ access to liquidity, delivering the efficiency and novelty our institutional clients crave.” His words hint at a plan to fuse decentralized liquidity with institutional-grade infrastructure rather than sheltering DeFi in its own little trading silo.

With Hyperliquid now in the mix, Ripple Prime hands institutional participants a direct line to a high-performance decentralized derivatives protocol-from inside a single, multi-asset prime brokerage fortress. It lets firms juggle DeFi positions alongside digital assets, forex, fixed income products, OTC swaps, and cleared derivatives under one roof of consolidated margining and centralized risk oversight. Ripple Prime says the arrangement keeps one counterparty relationship in charge while squeezing capital efficiency across portfolios with diverse exposures-like a very sensible wizard fitting dozens of wand holsters into one cloak.

The move signals institutional enthusiasm for decentralized derivatives venues, where onchain settlement and liquidity transparency politely shadow older markets. Ripple’s grand scheme remains to knit traditional finance to decentralized infrastructure while keeping the operational handrails expected of a global prime broker. Since 2012, Ripple has strutted through payments, custody, liquidity, and treasury management, with its RLUSD stablecoin and the XRP digital asset helping to move, store, exchange, and manage value across its platform.
