Ripple is expanding its institutional trading capabilities by providing users with access to regulated crypto derivatives contracts on Coinbase’s derivatives exchange, which are cleared by Nodal Clear. The connection enables users to trade futures based on key cryptocurrencies within a regulated clearing system.
According to the <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260305337572/en/Ripple-Offers-Clients-Access-to-Coinbase-Derivatives-Contracts-Cleared-by-Nodal-Clear" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reports</a>, Ripple Prime members now have access to nano Bitcoin and nano Ethereum futures, as well as contracts for XRP and Solana. “These offerings are all available 24/7 in a CFTC-regulated environment, allowing for precise risk management and global market access.”&nbsp;

When Ripple acquired Hidden Road Partners CIV US LLC, a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), last year, which facilitates access to Coinbase derivatives, the company is now a part of the Ripple Prime platform. It is an institutional platform that offers financing, clearing, and multi-asset prime brokerage services, and more than $3 trillion in transactions were cleared by the platform in 2025, which shows its expanding influence in institutional markets.
As part of its ambition to increase institutional derivatives access through deeper integration with the regulated clearing environment, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-expands-institutional-custody-services-with-new-security-and-staking-tools/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> has made it possible for its clients to access futures listed on Coinbase by becoming a clearing member of Nodal Clear.&nbsp;
Also, Noel Kimmel, President of Ripple Prime, said, “We are pleased to partner with Nodal Clear and Coinbase as we continue to expand our exchange coverage and bring new futures trading opportunities to our clients.”

Before this, in early February, Ripple Prime started trading and margining on <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-prime-integrates-hyperliquid-to-open-defi-derivatives-access/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hyperliquid</a>, which made its first connection to a decentralized trading venue that gave access to perpetual futures and other derivatives at the time of managing exposure, along with FX, fixed income, OTC swaps, and cleared products.&nbsp;
Therefore, the latest additions highlight Ripple’s larger initiative to improve the capabilities of its Ripple Prime platform and increase institutional derivatives access in both decentralized and centralized ways.
