What to know:

  • Ripple's $3 trillion clearing platform, Ripple Prime, now offers Coinbase crypto futures cleared by Nodal Clear.
  • Contracts include bitcoin, ether, SOL and XRP futures available for trading around the clock for institutional clients.
  • The expansion reflects growing institutional demand for regulated crypto derivatives.

Ripple, the blockchain firm closely associated with the XRP Ledger (XRP) network, said Thursday that clients on its Ripple Prime platform can now trade the full range of crypto futures listed on Coinbase Derivatives.

The move gives institutions a new way to access regulated crypto derivatives within a market overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Ripple said that its Prime platform cleared more than $3 trillion in trading volume in 2025.

The offering includes nano bitcoin BTC$71,300.77 and nano ether (ETH) futures, which are smaller contracts designed to lower the capital needed to trade. Coinbase also lists futures tied to Solana and XRP in both standard and smaller sizes. The contracts are cleared through Nodal Clear, a U.S. clearing house.

Crypto derivatives have become one of the fastest growing parts of the digital asset market. Many large trading firms prefer futures because they allow investors to gain exposure to price moves or hedge risk without holding the underlying tokens. Regulated futures markets in the U.S. have also drawn interest from institutions that need clear rules and centralized clearing.

The new service builds on Hidden Road, a futures commission merchant and prime broker Ripple acquired last year for $1.25 billion. The firm now operates as Ripple Prime and offers brokerage, clearing and financing services across several asset classes.

Ripple has been on an acquisition spree over the past year, buying a slew of companies to complement the firm's digital assets offering for institutions and enterprises. On top of Hidden Road, the company bought stablecoin payments firm Rail for $200 million, and also acquired treasury technology provider GTreasury and crypto wallet infrastructure startup Palisade.

CORRECTION (March 5, 21:52 UTC): Updates headline and first bullet to clearing platform.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
