🚀 Ripple is taking a historic step!
The company announced the purchase of multi-asset prime broker #HiddenRoad for 💰 $1.25 billion, becoming the first crypto company in the world to own and operate a global prime broker.
/ 2️⃣
📊 #HiddenRoad is an infrastructure giant:
• Over 300 institutional clients
• Clearing and settlements worth $3+ trillion per year
• Support for multi-asset markets (FX, crypto, derivatives, securities)
/ 3️⃣🔥 For #Ripple, this is not just a purchase — it is an entry into the heart of traditional markets.
The company now combines cryptocurrency liquidity pools and institutional risk management tools.
/ 4️⃣💡 This means:
– Institutions will be able to work with digital assets through Wall Street-level infrastructure
– #Ripple gains direct access to global liquidity and credit lines
– $XRP could become a key asset for settlements
/ 5️⃣
📈 #Ripple is transforming from a “payment network” into a full-fledged financial holding company, combining banking liquidity, tokenization, and AI analytics.
This is the path to a new asset class — tokenized real money (RWA).
/ 6️⃣
🌐 Bottom line:
The #Ripple x #HiddenRoad deal =
➡️ Convergence of traditional and digital finance
➡️ Strengthening of $XRP's position as a “bridge” asset
➡️ A new round of institutional crypto infrastructure
/ 7️⃣
🤔 What's next?
If #Ripple successfully integrates #HiddenRoad, the market will get its first full-fledged crypto prime brokerage ready for institutional scale.
And that could trigger a new bull cycle. 🐂
