Ripple Opens Door To Coinbase Derivatives For Institutional Clients

Institutional access to regulated crypto derivatives just expanded again. Ripple has announced that clients using its institutional brokerage platform can now trade derivatives contracts listed on Coinbase’s derivatives exchange, with clearing handled by Nodal Clear.

The development quietly marks a meaningful shift for Ripple, a company historically known for cross-border payments and its connection to XRP. With this integration, Ripple clients gain direct access to regulated crypto futures products in the United States—something that wasn’t previously available through the firm’s ecosystem.
