Ripple Opens 24/7 Stock Trading to Institutions as HSBC Flags Thin Liquidity

TradingGain Newsroom·9d ago·21 Oct 2026, 05:25 UTC

Ripple Prime now lets institutions trade stocks around the clock, with RLUSD usable as collateral. HSBC warns that the markets involved are still thin, meaning there may not be enough buyers and sellers for large trades. For traders, this shows how crypto-linked tools are moving into traditional markets, but liquidity risk remains.

XRPAt the time of writing, XRP traded at $1.34 (+2.59% in 24h).Live price →

Why it matters

Institutions can trade stock-linked positions through Ripple Prime at any hour.
RLUSD can be posted as collateral, tying the stablecoin to a new trading use.
HSBC says thin markets could make it harder to fill large positions.

What to watch next

Watch whether trading volumes on these 24/7 stock products grow enough to deepen liquidity, and whether HSBC or other banks issue further guidance.
