Ripple Prime Adds EDX Liquidity for Institutions
Ripple announced on May 19 that Ripple Prime integrated with EDX Markets and EDXM International. The integration gives Ripple Prime clients access to EDX’s spot and perpetual futures liquidity for digital assets through its global multi-asset prime brokerage platform. The combined access point brings trading, credit intermediation, net settlement, and collateral management into one institutional brokerage setup.
EDX Markets operates a spot venue, while EDXM International offers perpetual futures trading. Both venues are described as primary price discovery destinations with deep liquidity and market structures modeled on traditional finance. Ripple Prime’s services are built to help institutions manage fragmented liquidity and counterparty exposure through centralized brokerage tools. Ripple stated:
“The integration enables Ripple Prime’s clients to access EDX’s spot and perpetual futures liquidity for digital assets within a unified, capital-efficient prime brokerage framework.”
Ripple Prime’s connection to EDX gives clients a single brokerage route into EDX Markets’ spot venue and EDXM International’s perpetual futures exchange. Its model supports margin, settlement, and collateral workflows inside one platform. EDX contributes firm prices, low trading costs, and operational efficiencies designed for professional market participants.
RLUSD Plans Add Future Settlement Layer
The partnership also lays the groundwork for Ripple USD (RLUSD), Ripple’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, to become a settlement and collateral asset on EDX. That planned integration would let clients post and receive margin through a regulated, compliant, dollar-pegged digital asset.
RLUSD support would expand cross-collateralization and margin efficiencies across spot crypto and perpetual futures trading. EDX Markets products are available only to institutions in the United States and certain other jurisdictions. EDXM International does not offer products or services to persons or entities in the United States, European Union, or United Kingdom.
Michael Higgins, who serves as international CEO of Ripple Prime, stated:
“EDX is institutional-grade and delivers the performance, reliability, and depth that our clients expect. We’re excited to make its market structure seamlessly accessible through Ripple Prime’s capital-efficient framework, raising the bar for institutional digital asset trading.”
The planned RLUSD integration would expand how institutions manage collateral and margin across spot crypto and perpetual futures trading within connected EDX venues. Ripple Prime’s brokerage structure is designed to consolidate those workflows inside a single institutional platform.
