Ripple Prime clients now have access to the full suite of Coinbase Derivatives contracts cleared by Nodal Clear, a partnership announced on March 5, 2026.
The collaboration extends Coinbase’s regulated futures offering to Ripple’s institutional prime brokerage platform, allowing 24/7 trading of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP futures under a CFTC‑regulated environment.
Coinbase Derivatives operates as a Designated Contract Market regulated by the CFTC, while Nodal Clear is a Derivatives Clearing Organization also regulated by the CFTC, ensuring a fully compliant clearing and settlement process.
By integrating Coinbase Derivatives into Ripple Prime, the deal expands Coinbase’s derivatives platform to a broader institutional audience, potentially increasing trading volume and fee revenue and reinforcing Coinbase’s position as a leading regulated exchange for crypto derivatives.
Ripple Prime is a global, multi‑asset prime broker that emerged from Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, offering prime brokerage, clearing, and financing services across digital assets and traditional markets.
"We are pleased to welcome Ripple as a new clearing member of Nodal Clear," said Paul Cusenza, Chairman and CEO of Nodal Clear. "Through this relationship, Ripple’s clients can now efficiently access the full suite of Coinbase Derivatives contracts, further diversifying the trading opportunities available through our clearing services."
"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," said Noel Kimmel, President of Ripple Prime. "Offering the full suite of Coinbase Derivatives contracts within Ripple Prime’s robust clearing framework underscores our commitment to delivering increased market access and efficiency to institutions globally."
Coinbase’s broader strategy to diversify revenue beyond transaction fees is reflected in this partnership, which aligns with the growing trend of traditional finance and crypto firms integrating services. The collaboration marks the first new partnership announced by Coinbase in the past week, representing a material expansion of its product ecosystem.
