What happened
Ripple is financing leveraged stock exchange-traded funds, a market traditionally run by major banks. Ripple Prime provides total return swaps that allow funds to gain amplified exposure to stocks and indexes. This expansion followed Ripple's $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road in October 2025. The financing currently involves leveraged stock bets on Nvidia and SanDisk.

Why it matters
Ripple is entering a market traditionally dominated by major banks and securities firms. The leveraged ETF market offers Ripple a new source of fee income. However, the business carries risks because sharp stock moves could expose financing firms to losses.
