Ripple’s $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road has transformed the company into a significant force in institutional finance, rebranding it as Ripple Prime and incorporating its

XRP

Ledger (XRPL) and RLUSD stablecoin into a worldwide prime brokerage, as reported by a

ZyCrypto article

. TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington described this as “the best move yet,” as it allows Ripple to deliver clearing, financing, and trading services for digital assets, forex, and derivatives. By utilizing its payment network and custody offerings, Ripple seeks to connect traditional and digital finance, with RLUSD already being used as collateral for derivatives. CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the acquisition supports Ripple’s vision of creating an “Internet of Value,” with XRP playing a key role in its network.

At the same time, Ripple is facing a major supply management issue as it gets ready to unlock 1 billion XRP on November 1, 2025, an amount worth $2.49 billion at today’s prices, according to a

CoinPaprika report

. Although releasing the entire amount could potentially saturate the market, historical trends indicate that only 200–300 million XRP are typically released, with the rest being placed back into new escrows, according to a

Finbold report

. This approach, in place since 2017, keeps net supply growth between $500–750 million, helping to reduce price swings, as noted by

Yahoo Finance

. Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, clarified that the company is permitted to sell rights to future escrowed XRP, giving institutions early access to upcoming tokens without changing the release timeline. This method increases Ripple’s liquidity options and deepens relationships with institutional clients like Evernorth, which is building an XRP Treasury platform, CoinPaprika added.

The expected approval of the Clarity Act introduces further complexity. To prevent XRP from being labeled a security, Ripple must keep its holdings below 20% of the total supply, according to a

Coinpedia update

. Reports suggest Ripple may transfer a portion of its XRP to the U.S. government, a step that could support the International Monetary Fund’s consideration of XRP as a possible e-SDR substitute. Such a move would solidify XRP’s standing in the global financial system, in line with Ripple’s recent momentum, including Evernorth’s $1 billion listing initiative and Japan’s gumi Inc. joining its institutional partners, as previously covered by Yahoo Finance.

Institutional interest in XRP is also rising, highlighted by the Canary Funds’ $XRP spot ETF, which is set for an automatic launch on November 13, pending Nasdaq’s approval, according to Coinpedia. The SEC’s recent acceptance of auto-effective filings, previously used by Bitwise and Canary for other ETFs, points to increasing regulatory support, Coinpedia noted. Meanwhile, Ripple’s strategy of relocking XRP and selling rights to future tokens gives it flexibility in supply management while staying compliant, as Finbold has observed.

As Ripple manages these changes, the XRP market continues to be supported by its transparent supply mechanism and growing institutional adoption. Experts believe the November 1 unlock will have little direct effect on price, though traders will watch relocking trends for insights into Ripple’s 2026 liquidity plans, according to Yahoo Finance. With Ripple Prime’s debut and the Clarity Act approaching, how Ripple balances regulation and innovation will be crucial for XRP’s direction in the coming year.
