Ripple Prime Integrates Hyperliquid

Key Insights

• Ripple Prime now supports the Hyperliquid decentralized perpetual trading protocol.
• Institutional investors on Ripple Prime will now have direct access to Hyperliquid in a bridge of TradFi with DeFi.
• Hyperliquid is on a rollercoaster with the DeFi protocol seeing massive trading volume as HYPE bucks the current downtrend.

Ripple has integrated its brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, into the decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid. The firm disclosed this in a press release, noting broader exposure for its institutional clients.

Ripple Institutional Clients to Gain Access to Hyperliquid DeFi Products

According to the announcement, the integration will allow institutional investors to access onchain perpetuals liquidity on Hyperliquid directly. The press release reads:

“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.”

The firm described the integration as a sign of commitment to connect traditional finance with decentralized markets. With Hyperliquid being the largest decentralized perps trading platform, Ripple clients will have access to a top trading venue.

The CEO of Ripple Prime, Michael Higgins, acknowledged this, noting that it would expand clients’ access to liquidity and improve efficiency and innovation.

He said:

“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.”

Ripple Prime is a prime brokerage platform launched in 2025 following the San Francisco-based firm’s acquisition of Hidden Road. It already supports several financial products, enabling institutions to manage multi-asset portfolios from a single point.

Interestingly, XRP spot trading was recently launched on Hyperliquid, with the Flare network listing FXRP on the platform.

HYPE Sees Massive Gains Amidst Planned Prediction Market

For Hyperliquid, the integration with Ripple Prime represents a positive development for the decentralized platform. The DEX, which made a big splash last year with crypto perpetual futures, now offers perps on commodities such as gold and silver.

This had further boosted its profile, with trading volume soaring. According to Defillama data, the DEX has seen over $13 billion in trading volume in the last 24 hours. This is far above its next-largest competitor, Aster, which has $5.89 billion in volume.

Interestingly, Hyperliquid plans to launch a prediction-market-style product with outcome trading. Outcome trading will be introduced through the Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 4 (HIP-4) and will allow prediction markets and bounded options on the protocol.

Unsurprisingly, the Hyperliquid token HYPE has been an outlier amid the broader crypto market decline. HYPE is up 4% in the past 24 hours and currently trades around $34. It has also gained around 27% in value over the past 30 days.

By comparison, XRP is down almost 3% over the past 24 hours, shedding more than 30% of its value over the past 30 days. This aligns with the rest of the market, with Bitcoin down to $72,000 and trading at the lowest price since early November 2025.
