Ripple Prime Integrates Hyperliquid to Expand Institutional DeFi Access

Ripple, a blockchain enterprise solutions provider, has enabled its Ripple Prime platform to support Hyperliquid, a decentralized derivatives protocol. The integration allows institutional clients to access on-chain liquidity and cross-margin DeFi exposures alongside traditional assets, bridging centralized finance with decentralized markets for greater efficiency and innovation.

Ripple, a provider of blockchain-based enterprise solutions across traditional and digital finance, today announced that Ripple Prime, its institutional prime brokerage platform, enabled support for Hyperliquid, a high-performance decentralized derivatives protocol. This integration enables institutional clients to access onchain derivatives liquidity while cross-margining decentralized finance (DeFi) exposures with all other asset classes supported by Ripple Prime, including digital assets, FX, fixed income, OTC swaps, and cleared derivatives.

By supporting Hyperliquid, Ripple Prime continues its mission to bridge traditional finance and decentralized markets, offering institutions seamless access to DeFi venues within a unified, capital-efficient prime brokerage framework. Clients can access Hyperliquid liquidity while benefiting from a single counterparty relationship, centralized risk management, and consolidated margin across their entire portfolio.

“At Ripple Prime, we are excited to continue leading the way in merging decentralized finance with traditional prime brokerage services, offering direct support to trading, yield generation and a wider range of digital assets. This strategic extension of our prime brokerage platform into DeFi will enhance our clients' access to liquidity, providing the greater efficiency and innovation that our institutional clients demand,” said Michael Higgins, International CEO, Ripple Prime.

The inclusion of Hyperliquid underscores Ripple Prime’s commitment to supporting best-in-class liquidity venues across centralized and decentralized markets. As institutional participation in DeFi accelerates, Ripple Prime aims to provide clients with scalable access to next-generation trading infrastructure while preserving the controls and capital efficiency expected of a global prime broker.
