Ripple Prime opens 24/7 access on October 15, 2026

Ripple Prime launched perpetual swaps linked to equities, equity indexes, exchange-traded funds, metals, energy and foreign exchange markets. A perpetual swap is a derivative without a fixed expiration date. The contracts reference perpetual futures listed by Trade.xyz on Hyperliquid, while trading and settlement run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to Ripple.

Ripple said institutional clients including market maker Virtu are using the offering. Eligible clients can use Ripple USD, or RLUSD, as collateral, and the service supports cross-margining across asset classes. The arrangement places the client-facing swap with Ripple Prime rather than creating ownership of the referenced assets.

Derivatives access remains tied to Ripple Prime

The new structure gives institutions exposure to prices linked to Hyperliquid contracts, but clients do not trade directly with Hyperliquid in the Ripple Prime arrangement. Ripple Prime acts as principal, and the service operates through its CIV BVI license, according to Yahoo Finance. The report also states that access is subject to jurisdictional restrictions, including requirements affecting United States investors.

For the Hyperliquid price, the institutional expansion is separate from the current market quote. The price stands at 77.41 USD as of October 16, 2026, with a daily high of 79.5190 USD and a daily low of 77.2640 USD, according to Investing.com.
