- Ripple Prime Launches Institutional Swaps for Traditional Asset Perpetuals — this brief
Ripple Prime has launched a new institutional product that connects clients to perpetual swaps based on traditional financial assets through 
Hyperliquid's 24/7 trading platform. The offering includes more than 100 markets across equities, indices, ETFs, metals, energy, and foreign exchange.
The product allows institutional investors to trade exposure to traditional assets around the clock using blockchain-based derivatives. Ripple Prime acts as the counterparty for these swaps and integrates them with its existing institutional brokerage services, including cross-margining and collateral management.
This development comes after Ripple acquired multi-asset prime broker Hidden Road in February 2025 and renamed it Ripple Prime. The acquisition provided access to Hyperliquid's on-chain derivatives infrastructure, which now underpins the new product offering.
According to Bloomberg, open interest in traditional asset perpetual contracts has grown from nearly zero to approximately $9 billion over the past year across major trading venues. This indicates increasing institutional interest in these products.
The total cryptocurrency market cap remains stable at $2.82 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.09%. Hyperliquid's native token (HYPE) is currently priced at $81.09, up 0.97% in the last 24 hours.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has moved from ₹7,724.05$81.09 to ₹7,767.86$81.55 — +0.57%.
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 Token Times'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 ≈ ₹8,521.98 (about $81.55), up 2.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
