Ripple brings Wall Street into 24/7 stock bets, but HSBC warns markets are still thin
Institutions can trade through Ripple Prime and post RLUSD as collateral. Finding enough buyers and sellers for large positions could prove harder.
Ripple is enabling institutional clients to trade stocks around the clock through Ripple Prime, with its RLUSD stablecoin usable as collateral. HSBC cautions that liquidity for large positions may remain thin, since round-the-clock trading does not guarantee deep order books. Traders should watch whether this expands real demand for RLUSD and XRP, but the immediate price impact is likely limited until volumes prove out.
