Ripple Prime has secured a $200 million Neuberger Berman facility to expand margin lending across equities, fixed income, and digital assets. The funding scales with institutional demand and is collateral-backed, improving trading liquidity. It supports Ripple’s unified financing model across traditional and crypto markets amid rising institutional adoption.
Ripple Prime Financing Expansion Deal
Ripple Prime secured a $200 million financing facility from Neuberger Berman through its specialty finance group. The structure gives the firm access to as much as $200 million, depending on institutional borrowing demand across trading desks.
The capital supports margin lending for equities, fixed income, and digital assets under a single credit framework. Executives said the model aligns financing with collateralized positions, improving liquidity efficiency and reducing fragmented risk exposure.
The asset-based structure functions similarly to receivable-backed credit facilities, allowing scalable deployment as market activity rises.
Ripple aims to strengthen cross-asset trading support using blockchain infrastructure while maintaining flexible credit access for institutional investors operating in multiple markets.

Prime Brokerage Expansion Strategy
The Ripple Prime is now offering increased brokerage services to help provide more margins to its institutional customers who trade within the global markets.
According to the President of Ripple Prime, Noel Kimmel, this involves the creation of a holistic credit platform that connects various asset classes without the usual barriers between equity, fixed income, and crypto.
Margin borrowing is facilitated through the use of collateral from clients, allowing for more leverage and trading opportunities. This will help ensure the availability of liquidity while at the same time managing risks based on the real-time performance of portfolios.
Institutional Growth and Market Expansion
Institutional investors are investing more in digital assets due to the increased investment in crypto by the world’s financial companies. This has been made possible by regulatory policy changes that support cryptocurrency.
For instance, the Trump administration supported pro-cryptocurrency policies. Some of the firms include State Street Corporation and Standard Chartered Plc, which are establishing platforms and providing prime brokerage services for digital asset trading.
Ripple has been expanding its services via acquisitions. It acquired Hidden Road, worth $1.25 billion, and GTreasury, worth $1 billion.
The firm has raised additional capital worth $500 million to bring its valuation to $40 billion. With this, it is well-positioned to provide broader custodial, stablecoin, and prime brokerage services around the globe.
