Ripple Prime Clients Gain Access to Spot Crypto Trading

The post Ripple Prime Clients Gain Access to Spot Crypto Trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Ripple Prime clients will have access to dozens of cryptocurrencies. Customers can engage in OTC spot transactions, Ripple said. Hidden Road was a multi-asset prime brokerage. XRP-linked fintech Ripple began letting U.S. customers access spot trading for dozens of cryptocurrencies through its Ripple Prime service, the company said in a blog post on Monday. The addition of digital asset spot prime brokerage capabilities follows Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, a multi-asset prime brokerage earlier this year. Ripple said that it was purchasing the platform for $1.25 billion in April. In Monday’s announcement, Ripple said that Prime clients could access “dozens of the most prominent digital assets,” including XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, which debuted in December. The assets had market caps of $142 billion and $1 billion, respectively, on Monday, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko.  Although Ripple’s business has focused on XRP’s ecosystem for years, the move likely makes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana accessible to the firm’s customers. In a statement, Ripple Prime International CEO Michael Higgins said the service dovetails with Prime’s other offerings. “The launch of OTC spot execution capabilities complements our existing suite of OTC and cleared derivatives services in digital assets and positions us to provide U.S. institutions with a comprehensive offering to suit their trading strategies and needs,” he said. A Ripple spokesperson confirmed to Decrypt that the Prime service covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Through Ripple’s prime brokerage, institutions can access foreign-exchange trading, as well as precious metals, in addition to synthetic assets and over-the-counter swaps.

XRP Ledger Outperforms as Q3 Report Reveals Massive Network Growth ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post XRP Ledger Outperforms as Q3 Report Reveals Massive Network Growth ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is emerging as one of the strongest performers in the blockchain sector, following a standout Q3 report that revealed significant network growth and institutional traction. According to Messari’s latest State of XRP Ledger update, the platform has implemented institutional-grade features designed to support the growing tokenized real-world asset (RWA) sector and compliant decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. Key metrics showed a sharp quarter-over-quarter increase: XRP’s price rose 27.2%, the RWA market cap on XRPL surged 215.3%, and average daily transactions climbed 8.9%. This surge reflects a larger trend emerging within the XRP ecosystem, one centered on liquidity and the integration of real-world assets. Since the start of 2025, tokenized U.S. Treasuries on XRPL have expanded from approximately $5 million to nearly $170 million, representing a staggering 34-fold increase. That growth has transformed the XRPL into a more robust, functional market for institutional investors seeking blockchain access to low-risk, yield-bearing assets, such as Treasuries and bonds. Advertisement &nbsp As of mid-October, the network hosts around $365 million in total tokenized RWAs, making XRP a viable bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain economy. Supporting this liquidity shift is Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, which has quickly reached a market cap of $898 million, according to CoinMarketCap data. Its launch created a native cash equivalent on XRPL, facilitating stable settlements and collateralized transactions between institutions. Major players, such as Franklin Templeton, are already taking notice. The asset manager recently partnered with Ripple to enable client exchanges between a tokenized money market fund and RLUSD, signaling the start of broader financial onboarding. As the ecosystem matures, XRP’s fundamentals continue to strengthen. Each transaction on XRPL burns a small portion of XRP, thereby reducing the overall supply and potentially increasing the long-term value of XRP. Combined with rising…

The post XRP Surge To Unprecedented Heights On Exchanges Before Rapid Correction – Here’s How High appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a shocking flash surge that stunned traders worldwide, XRP’s price briefly skyrocketed to unprecedented heights on several major exchanges before rapidly collapsing back to its previous levels within seconds. The extraordinary spike triggered a wave of confusion across the crypto community, prompting questions about data integrity, liquidity anomalies, and possible faults in exchange systems. How The Event quickly spread And Was interpreted online The digital asset world was set ablaze recently when XRP inexplicably surged to an astonishing $9,800 across multiple exchanges for several seconds. According to KingXRP’s post on X, many experts believe that this was a test run for XRP’s upcoming role as a global reserve currency. KingXRP noted that the $650 trillion global real estate market is actively preparing for mass tokenization on the XRP Ledger through the RealFi platform, powered by the real token. While REAL is currently trading at $0.03, analysts in the community are projecting that the token could rapidly surge to $176.99, especially once major Centralized Exchange (CEX) listings go live. KingXRP concluded that a massive supply shock may be imminent. Crypto analyst Skipper_xrp has emphasized that a former central banker and regulator, Marius Jurgilas, believes that XRP Ledger (XRPL) is setting the stage for massive-scale institutional investment inflows, potentially worth trillions. According to the expert, the focus is on utility, not speculation.  This is a new era project of open and people-powered journalism with the BXE token, which is set to launch on a centralized exchange on November 14th.
