Ripple Prime, the institutional prime brokerage arm of Ripple, has won the Prime Broker of the Year: EMEA award at the 2026 Hedgeweek US Awards. The recognition, announced on October 10, 2026, highlights Ripple Prime’s brokerage services for institutional clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The award specifically covers Ripple Prime’s institutional brokerage operations rather than Ripple’s broader cryptocurrency payment business. Ripple Prime provides clearing, financing, and trading services, connecting digital asset operations with traditional financial market infrastructure. The distinction places Ripple Prime among financial service providers acknowledged for serving hedge funds and other institutional investors.
The Hedgeweek US Awards is an annual event that honors companies across custody, trading infrastructure, blockchain technology, compliance, and decentralized finance. At the same event, BitGo also received the Prime Broker of the Year award for the US and Custodian of the Year honors in both the US and global categories.
The award adds an industry recognition milestone for Ripple Prime as Ripple continues to expand institutional financial services across digital assets and traditional markets.
