Ripple Prime operates as the institutional brokerage, clearing, and financing platform built from Hidden Road, the futures commission merchant Ripple acquired last year. Ripple is expanding access to regulated crypto futures by adding Coinbase Derivatives contracts.  The products give firms a way to track price moves or hedge risk without holding the underlying tokens. Futures remain important in digital asset markets because they offer centralized clearing and operate within a structure that many institutions already use for compliance and risk management. Recently, Ripple payments went live in more than 60 markets and processed over $100 billion in volume. CNF reported that the platform combines fiat and stablecoin payment rails with custody and liquidity tools. Regulated Futures Access Expands on Ripple Prime The clearing arrangement runs through Nodal Clear, where Ripple now participates as a clearing member. That structure allows Ripple Prime clients to access Coinbase Derivatives contracts through a U.S.-regulated clearing process. The setup also adds another exchange connection to Ripple Prime’s network as the company builds out its institutional market infrastructure. The latest move comes as Ripple continues to expand its institutional financial services business. Alongside its acquisition of Hidden Road, the company has added technology focused on payments, treasury operations, and digital asset infrastructure. These deals include the purchase of stablecoin payments company Rail, treasury technology provider GTreasury, and wallet infrastructure startup Palisade. With Coinbase futures now available on Ripple Prime, Ripple is expanding regulated access to crypto markets for institutional clients. The company is combining brokerage, clearing, financing, and market access within one platform while broadening the products offered to professional traders In late February, Ripple made plans to expand funding and accelerator programs for the XRPL ecosystem in 2026. CNF reported that the plan includes a fintech builder program, XAO DAO, and wider support for founders and developers. XRP price traded at **$1.39 **at the time of reporting, while Bitcoin price stood at **$70,380 **after both posted losses over the past 24 hours. Ethereum price was down over **3% **and traded at $2,049, while SOL traded at $87.32, extending the broader market pullback.
