Ripple has announced that its institutional prime brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, now supports the decentralized derivatives trading protocol Hyperliquid.
The integration gives Ripple Prime clients access to Hyperliquid’s onchain perpetuals liquidity while keeping margin and risk managed inside Ripple Prime. The company said clients will be able to cross-margin decentralized finance derivatives exposures, alongside positions in other markets the platform supports.
Ripple Prime currently supports traditional assets that include FX, fixed income, over-the-counter swaps, and more. The platform acts as a single point of access for institutions managing multi-asset portfolios, offering centralized risk management and capital efficiency, Ripple said.
The integration builds on growing interoperability in the space. Earlier this year Flare, a blockchain focused on interoperability, launched the first XRP spot market on Hyperliquid with the listing of FXRP. Ripple’s announcement focuses on derivatives access through Ripple Prime rather than retail spot trading.
Hyperliquid has drawn attention over its rapid growth to become the largest perpetual contracts decentralized exchange. As of mid-January, it had surpassed $5 billion in open interest and $200 billion in monthly trading volume, outpacing several rival exchanges.
Its recent surge in tokenized commodity trades, including silver futures, has attracted interest in the space and helped its HYPE token outperform during the ongoing selloff. The platform is also eyeing prediction markets.
Ripple launched its Prime platform in late 2025 following its $1.25 billion acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road.
