- Ripple Prime Launches Traditional Asset Perpetual Swaps for Institutions — this brief
Ripple Prime has expanded its institutional offerings by launching perpetual swaps linked to more than 100 traditional financial markets. These swaps cover a wide range of asset classes, including equities, indices, exchange-traded funds, metals, energy, and foreign exchange.
The new service allows institutional clients to trade these exposures 24/7 through 
Hyperliquid's on-chain derivatives platform. Clients enter into swaps with Ripple Prime as the counterparty, and they can manage these positions alongside other holdings within Ripple Prime's brokerage platform.
This development comes as the open interest in traditional asset perpetual markets has grown significantly, rising from nearly zero to approximately $9 billion over the past year, according to Bloomberg. The service combines these exposures with cross-margining and collateral management, providing a comprehensive solution for institutional traders.
The launch follows Ripple's acquisition of multi-asset prime broker Hidden Road in February 2025, which was renamed Ripple Prime. This acquisition provided Ripple with access to Hyperliquid for on-chain derivatives, and the new product extends that connection to traditional asset markets.
The total crypto market cap remains at $2.82 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a slight 24-hour increase of 0.05%. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 53, indicating a neutral market sentiment. Hyperliquid's token (HYPE) is currently priced at $81.09, with a 24-hour gain of 0.82% and a 7-day decline of 2.82%, and its total value locked is $343.2 million.

The chart plots HYPE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 HYPE ≈ ₦111,304.55 (about $81.52), up 2.6% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
