Ripple Launches OTC Crypto Swaps for US Institutions, Expanding Access to Digital Assets

Hidden Road, a platform backed by Ripple, has officially launched over-the-counter (OTC) crypto swaps in the United States, providing institutions with a new pathway to access digital asset markets. This move marks a significant step toward mainstream financial acceptance of cryptocurrency.    Through cash-settled trades, clients can now swap major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, eliminating the need for actual crypto exchange and reducing counterparty risk. The initiative aims to provide a smoother trading experience while addressing compliance and transparency concerns specific to institutional investors.
