Ripple Prime Launches Traditional-Asset Perps With Trade.xyz

The significance here is less the product than the packaging: traditional-asset perps delivered through an institutional prime wrapper, with Hyperliquid as the underlying venue and a single margin framework spanning onchain and conventional exposures. That combination is what institutional desks have lacked, and it positions Ripple Prime against both crypto-native venues and traditional prime brokers. The open question is whether demand for tokenized conventional exposure actually materializes at institutional scale, and how competing venues and brokers respond.
