Summary
- Ripple said it completed the Hidden Road acquisition process and officially launched 'Ripple Prime'.
- Ripple Prime said it will integrate payments, custody, stablecoin, and XRP among various assets and services to pursue operational efficiency and cost reductions.
- It said the acquisition secured a foundation for institutional adoption of digital assets, and Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD is being used as collateral by some derivatives clients.
Global remittance project Ripple said on the 28th that it has acquired prime broker Hidden Road and officially launched as 'Ripple Prime.'
In an official blog post, Ripple said, "The Hidden Road acquisition process has been completed," and "Ripple Prime will provide integrated payment, brokerage, and financial services across a variety of asset classes such as foreign exchange (FX), digital assets, derivatives, and bonds." Ripple explained that "this acquisition has secured the foundation to fully accelerate institutional adoption of digital assets."
Ripple Prime plans to combine Ripple's core infrastructure — payments, custody, stablecoin, and Ripple's native asset XRP — to drive operational efficiency and cost reductions. Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD is already being used as collateral by some derivatives clients, and its use cases are expected to expand rapidly in the future.
This acquisition is Ripple's fifth major acquisition in the past two years; earlier it acquired payment platform Rail in August 2025, Standard Custody in June, Metaco in May 2023, and last week announced plans to acquire the treasury management system 'GTreasury.'
