Ripple Adds Support for Hyperliquid to Ripple Prime Platform

Ripple, a leading provider of blockchain solutions for traditional and digital finance, has announced the integration of the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid into its institutional brokerage platform Ripple Prime. This is the first DeFi venue integration on the Ripple Prime platform, allowing institutional clients to access on-chain derivatives liquidity while simultaneously cross-margining DeFi exposures with other asset classes such as digital assets, foreign currency, fixed income, OTC swaps, and cleared derivatives.

According to Ripple's official press release, this integration aims to bridge traditional finance with decentralized markets, providing institutions with seamless access to DeFi within a single, capital-efficient brokerage framework. Hyperliquid, as a high-performance decentralized derivatives protocol, becomes a key element in expanding opportunities for institutional traders, allowing them to manage positions in the on-chain derivatives market directly through the Ripple Prime platform.

"We are excited to continue leading the merger of decentralized finance with traditional brokerage services, offering direct support for trading, yield generation, and a broader spectrum of digital assets," said Michael Higgins, Global CEO of Ripple Prime.

This news comes amid Ripple's active development in 2026. The company has already acquired Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, creating Ripple Prime as a crypto-oriented prime broker for institutions, as well as GTreasury for integrating traditional cash management with blockchain and stablecoins. CEO Brad Garlinghouse has declared 2026 as a period of enhancing the utility of XRP and RLUSD, building on the successes of 2025, including settlement with the SEC, obtaining a trust bank charter in the US, and an electronic money license in the UK.

On the X platform, the news quickly gained momentum. Ripple's official account posted:

"Hyperliquid, meet Ripple Prime... Institutions, welcome to the on-chain economy."

Some users urged the Hyperliquid community to show their strength alongside the "XRP army," while others shared the news with enthusiasm.

Analysts note that this strengthens Ripple's market position, where competition between traditional and decentralized finance is growing.
