- Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road for $XXXX billion, announced on April 10, 2025, marks a significant move to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), potentially unlocking trillions in trading potential by integrating prime brokerage services with digital assets.
- The "Crypto In One Minute" series, featuring Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, aims to simplify complex crypto topics, with this particular episode focusing on how prime brokers facilitate institutional entry into DeFi, highlighting the strategic importance of such services in the evolving crypto landscape.
- This development is part of a broader trend where traditional financial institutions are increasingly adopting blockchain technology, as evidenced by the involvement of major banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs in prime brokerage, and the growing institutional interest in digital assets, supported by Ripple's infrastructure.
