Ripple is expanding into the business of financing leveraged stock exchange-traded funds, putting the crypto company in a market long dominated by major banks and securities firms.
Its prime brokerage division, Ripple Prime, is supplying financing for funds that let investors multiply the daily moves of individual stocks and market indexes, according to aWall Street Journal reportWednesday.
Ripple entered the business through its$1.25 billion acquisitionof Hidden Road, a multi-asset prime brokerage firm, in October 2025. The deal gave Ripple an established operation that clears trades, finances investment positions and handles transactions across stocks, bonds, currencies and digital assets.
A fund promising twice the daily return of Nvidia can enter into a financial contract called a total return swap rather than buying twice its assets in Nvidia shares. A broker provides the exposure, typically hedging its own risk through stock purchases or other trades, while collecting a financing fee from the fund.
