What to know:

  • Ripple’s $3 trillion trading platform, Ripple Prime, now offers Coinbase crypto futures cleared by Nodal Clear.
  • Contracts include bitcoin, ether, SOL and XRP futures available for trading around the clock for institutional clients.
  • The expansion reflects growing institutional demand for regulated crypto derivatives.

Ripple, the company behind the XRP cryptocurrency network, announced Thursday that its Ripple Prime customers can now buy and sell all cryptocurrency futures available on Coinbase Derivatives.

This development allows financial institutions to trade regulated crypto derivatives through a market monitored by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Ripple reported that its Prime platform processed over $3 trillion in trades during 2025.

Coinbase is now offering futures contracts for nano bitcoin and nano ether, which require less capital to trade than traditional contracts. They also offer standard and smaller-sized futures for Solana and XRP. These contracts are processed and secured through Nodal Clear, a U.S.-based clearing house.

Crypto derivatives are rapidly becoming a major force in the digital asset world. Many professional trading companies favor futures contracts because they let investors benefit from price changes or reduce risk without actually owning the cryptocurrencies themselves. The existence of well-regulated futures markets in the U.S. is also attracting larger institutions that require clear regulations and a central system for processing trades.

Ripple has expanded its services by leveraging Hidden Road, a company it purchased for $1.25 billion last year. Now operating as Ripple Prime, the company provides brokerage, clearing, and financing for a variety of investments.

As an analyst tracking Ripple, I’ve noticed a significant trend over the past year: strategic acquisitions. They’ve been actively expanding their capabilities, particularly for institutional and enterprise clients. Beyond the recent Hidden Road purchase, they’ve also brought Rail, a stablecoin payments company, into the fold for $200 million. Plus, they’ve added GTreasury, specializing in treasury technology, and Palisade, a crypto wallet infrastructure startup, further solidifying their position in the digital assets space.
