\n

On Monday, Ripple announced that it had secured a $200 million debt facility from Neuberger Specialty Finance, an asset-based investment company dedicated to providing high-yield credit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company said the financing is intended to support continued expansion of its multi-asset prime brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, as it sees \u201crising client demand for institutional-grade prime services and margin financing solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Will Ripple Prime Use Its $200M Debt\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Ripple Prime was created after Ripple acquired Hidden Road for around $1.2 billion late last year. It functions as the clearing and intermediation arm for exchange-traded derivatives (ETD) and related financing activities. The firm stated that its platform has been performing strongly, saying Ripple Prime\u2019s revenue has tripled year-over-year.<\/p>\n

According to the official release<\/a>, the new facility allows Ripple Prime to draw down up to $200 million, giving it additional flexibility as client requirements change. The company said the proceeds will be used to extend financing to customers participating across both traditional and digital markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By doing so, the brokerage platform said it expects to increase its lending capacity and strengthen its ability to support both existing institutional clients and new relationships.<\/p>\n

Noel Kimmel, President of Ripple Prime, said that access to financing and balance-sheet strength matters for institutional participants in volatile and fast-moving markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that the facility is designed to help the company grow \u201calongside\u201d its clients by expanding margin capacity<\/a>, improving responsiveness, and supporting better capital efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kimmel also highlighted Neuberger Specialty Finance\u2019s experience in asset-based finance and said the lender\u2019s support reflects the prime services platform Ripple Prime has built, along with the company\u2019s \u201cmany growth opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neuberger And Kroll Both Weigh In<\/h2>\n

Neuberger Specialty Finance\u2019s Peter Sterling, the firm\u2019s Head, said the facility reflects Neuberger\u2019s focus on working with market-leading platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He described brokerage platform as a business at the intersection of traditional markets <\/a>and expanding markets, combining what he called fintech-grade technology and agility with bank-level compliance and operational rigor.<\/p>\n

The announcement arrives after credit rating activity earlier this year. In April, Kroll assigned Ripple Prime an inaugural investment-grade issuer rating of \u201cBBB.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kroll\u2019s analysis, as previously reported<\/a> by Bitcoinist, described the company as being in a scaling phase, pointing to the ETD platform launched in 2024 and Ripple Prime\u2019s fixed-income repo activities.\u00a0Those repo activities reportedly reached meaningful scale in 2025, with concentration in short-duration US Treasuries (T-Bills) and agency securities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ripple\"<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the price of Ripple\u2019s associated cryptocurrency, XRP<\/a>, was $1.47, marking an 8% increase over the past thirty days amid a wider crypto surge driven by Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) rise above $82,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n
