Ripple, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider, is fueling its ambitions to become a key player in institutional liquidity flows through the launch of Hidden Road’s new crypto over-the-counter (OTC) service for US institutions. 7The newly launched platform enables US institutions to trade large cryptocurrency positions privately, using cash settlement rather than public exchanges. This strategy helps minimize price fluctuations common with open market transactions. Hidden Road’s Financial Conduct Authority-regulated UK arm, Hidden Road Partners CIV UK Ltd., will handle the operations of this new OTC Swaps product alongside a suite of crypto cross-margining and financing services.
