Ripple Prime and EDX Markets Integrate Institutional Liquidity Gateway; RLUSD Planned as Settlement Asset

Ripple Prime and EDX Markets announced a strategic integration to provide institutional clients unified access to spot and perpetual futures liquidity, addressing market fragmentation through capital-efficient consolidated trading. The partnership links Ripple Prime's infrastructure with EDX's institutional-grade platform, backed by major institutions including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Citadel Securities, and Goldman Sachs, collectively managing over $11.5 trillion in assets and approximately 77 million brokerage accounts.

The integration enables institutions to manage collateral across both spot and derivatives markets while reducing idle capital. Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin is planned for potential integration as a margin and settlement asset within EDX's ecosystem, allowing institutions to post collateral using a regulated, dollar-pegged digital instrument rather than traditional banking rails.
