Ripple Prime Builds Blockchain Infrastructure for Wall Street 2.0

Ripple Prime is expanding its blockchain infrastructure to support the growing demand from institutional investors, despite the current downturn in the digital asset market. According to Michael Higgins, international chief executive of Ripple Prime, the company is building a continuous financial infrastructure for modern institutional markets.

Higgins described this shift as the foundation of 'Wall Street 2.0,' where blockchain networks support financial services beyond traditional banking hours. He emphasized that Ripple Prime supports markets requiring always-on blockchain infrastructure and uninterrupted access, which helps institutions operate beyond conventional settlement schedules.

The company recently secured a $200 million debt facility from Neuberger Specialty Finance to increase institutional margin lending capacity. This financing enables clients operating across digital assets, foreign exchange, derivatives, swaps, and fixed income to use the RLUSD dollar-backed stablecoin for continuous collateral management.
