Bitnomial becomes the first U.S.-regulated clearinghouse to accept stablecoins and XRP as margin collateral, marking a new phase of mainstream trading utility for Ripple’s digital assets.
Bitnomial announced an extension of its margin program to include stablecoins and digital assets, making it the first U.S.-regulated derivatives clearinghouse to accept RLUSD and XRP as margin collateral. According to the company’s statement, institutional clients can already use these assets for leveraged futures, options, and perpetual contracts, with retail access coming soon via its Botanical platform. This expansion builds on Bitnomial’s earlier acceptance of crypto assets for margin deposits in September 2025, and underscores the growing integration of Ripple’s RLUSD and XRP into regulated trading systems.
