Ripple Prime adds support for the decentralized Derivative Hyperliquid, enabling institutional clients to consolidate collateral across both traditional and DeFi markets.
Ripple , one of the leading providers of blockchain solutions for institutions, has announced the integration of Hyperliquid into its main Ripple Prime brokerage platform. This move marks a new step in its strategy to connect decentralized finance with traditional financial services, while expanding access to blockchain liquidation for institutional clients.
Through this integration, organizations can directly access liquidation from Hyperliquid, the decentralized Derivative exchange that currently accounts for over 70% of the total open interest in the decentralized perpetual contract market. Clients are not only allowed to open trading positions on Hyperliquid but can also use them within a unified collateral system alongside other asset classes such as digital assets, foreign exchange, fixed-income instruments, OTC swaps, and offset Derivative .
Consolidate collateral across multiple asset classes.
According to Michael Higgins, International CEO of Ripple Prime, the core advantage of this integration lies in the ability to maintain a single partnership with centralized risk governance. This approach significantly simplifies collateral management and minimizes operating costs as organizations operate in parallel across both traditional marketplaces and decentralized platforms.
Higgins emphasized that the expansion of Ripple Prime reflects Ripple's larger ambition to bridge the gap between decentralized finance and traditional mainstream brokerage services. This move also addresses the growing demand from institutional investors seeking direct access to blockchain liquidation , trading tools, and yield-generating products.
Ripple Prime was officially launched in November 2025, following the acquisition of major broker Hidden Road in April of the same year. The platform's rapid growth demonstrates the strong convergence trend between traditional and decentralized finance, with increasing participation of large institutions in the DeFi ecosystem.
