Ripple Prime Adds Hyperliquid Support, Bringing DeFi Derivatives to Institutions

Ripple Prime, the institutional prime brokerage arm of Ripple, has expanded its platform to include support for Hyperliquid, a leading decentralized derivatives venue — marking a significant milestone in linking traditional financial infrastructure with on‑chain decentralized finance (DeFi).

Hyperliquid is a high‑performance decentralized exchange (DEX) built on its own Layer‑1 blockchain that specializes in perpetual futures and derivatives markets, offering deep liquidity, centralized exchange‑like execution speed, and innovative on‑chain order books.

With the integration, institutional clients using Ripple Prime will be able to access Hyperliquid’s on‑chain derivatives liquidity alongside other asset classes — including digital assets, foreign exchange (FX), fixed income, OTC swaps, and cleared derivatives — all within a unified prime brokerage framework. This setup also enables cross‑margining of decentralized finance exposures, making capital use more efficient for professional traders and institutions.

Ripple Prime’s CEO highlighted that this move reflects the company’s commitment to bridging centralized prime brokerage services and decentralized market infrastructure, providing seamless access to cutting‑edge DeFi venues while maintaining the risk‑management and operational controls expected by institutional participants.

The integration comes amid growing institutional demand for decentralized derivatives products, as Hyperliquid has seen massive trading volumes and expanding user activity, reinforcing its position as a key on‑chain trading infrastructure.
