Ripple Prime Opens 24/7 RWA Perpetual Swaps: Institutional Capital Hits Tokenized Stocks and Commodities

The biggest Ripple news of the week has nothing to do with the XRP Ledger. Ripple Prime, the prime broker Ripple built from its $1.25 billion Hidden Road deal, now lets institutions trade exposure to stocks, metals, energy and currencies around the clock, weekends included. Ripple announced on October 15 that its new real-world asset (RWA) perpetual swaps cover more than 100 reference markets, and market maker Virtu is already trading them. So what does a Wall Street desk get out of this Ripple news that it couldn’t get on a Friday night before? And does any of it touch XRP?
