Ripple Launches Global Prime Brokerage

XRP has gained attention recently after Ripple shared news of a major milestone. Traders and analysts are watching closely as the token gains more traction in the market. Some experts believe it could play an important role in institutional finance, especially as Ripple expands its services.

Ripple completed its acquisition of Hidden Road, which now operates as Ripple Prime. This makes Ripple the first crypto company to offer a global multi-asset prime brokerage. The move allows institutional clients to access digital assets more easily, which could increase XRP’s use in global payments.

The crypto community responded strongly to Wynn’s investment. Vet, an XRPL dUNL validator, pointed out the network’s technical strengths, including its unique consensus model and its position as the second-oldest chain in the top 10. He also highlighted layer 1 features such as AMM, CLOB, tokens, and NFTs, which provide opportunities for builders and improve liquidity.

Wynn asked his followers to share their thoughts on XRP’s advantages and drawbacks. Replies included praise for Ripple’s long-term stability and low transaction costs. Some replies expressed doubts about timing and underlying incentives. He later mentioned he is stepping back from meme coin trading and perpetual futures. Wynn wants to focus on building in the crypto space.

XRP Faces Challenges but Shows Strong Growth Potential

XRP still has some challenges. Smart contracts are not fully ready, and not many everyday users are adopting them, which can be frustrating for investors. Some critics also point out that Ripple executives sell XRP when prices go up. Even so, most people in the community support Wynn’s decision, seeing strong growth potential in the token.

Right now, XRP is trading at $2.60, up 4% in the last 24 hours. Daily trading volume has risen more than 10% to over $4 billion, showing growing interest. Analysts stay positive and think XRP could reach $10 or more in the coming months.

Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto said Ripple has reasons to increase XRP use. The company owns about 100 billion XRP, which will come out slowly from escrow over the next ten years. “They will do everything in their power to make that crypto asset a success — they are hands down the biggest beneficiary of a higher-priced $XRP,” the analyst wrote on X. This shows Ripple gains if the XRP price goes up.

"I’m reminding you all that $XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does."

Said this before and I'll say it again.

When an entity holds some 100B of a crypto asset that will slowly be released to them from an automated escrow over the next decade plus, they will do… https://t.co/053HPNoRvk
