Ripple's acquisition of prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion positions Ripple to act as a bridge into the world of global finance.
Ripple also launched the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, offering a leveraged opportunity for XRP investors.
Ripple plans to integrate its stablecoin RLUSD into the infrastructure, enabling institutional clients to manage positions across both crypto and traditional instruments seamlessly.
Ripple's move comes as conditions in the US may favor tokenization and digital asset adoption, potentially cementing XRPL as a backbone for a tokenized financial system.
