Ripple Prime shortlisted for four Hedgeweek US Awards 2026 categories
The Ripple-owned former Hidden Road is competing across client service, technology, specialist markets and emerging manager categories, with winners to be decided by public vote ahead of an October 8 ceremony in New York.
Ripple Prime has been shortlisted in four categories at the Hedgeweek US Awards 2026, adding public details on the nomination process and ceremony date to earlier disclosures about the Ripple-owned prime broker’s growth. The company is nominated for Prime Broker of the Year in Client Service, Technology, Specialist Markets, and Start-up & Emerging Managers, with winners to be determined through public voting and announced at an October 8, 2026 ceremony in New York. The business, formerly Hidden Road, was acquired by Ripple in April 2025 and later rebranded as Ripple Prime as part of Ripple’s push beyond blockchain-based payments into broader institutional financial infrastructure spanning digital assets, foreign exchange, derivatives and fixed income. The nominations place Ripple Prime alongside established financial market providers and underscore the increasing presence of digital asset-focused firms in institutional investment categories.
