Crypto prime broker Hidden Road launched a new digital asset swaps prime brokerage offering specifically for the U.S. market. The new service allows U.S.-based institutional clients to trade cash-settled over-the-counter (OTC) swaps across a wide range of prominent digital assets. These transactions will be handled through Hidden Road Partners CIV UK Ltd, the firm’s FCA-regulated entity. In addition to execution, the brokerage will provide cross-margining and financing services, expanding the trading and capital efficiency options available to institutional players. Michael Higgins, Hidden Road’s International CEO and Global Head of Corporate Development, pointed to a persistent gap in the U.S. digital asset market. Hidden Road’s move comes as institutional demand for complex crypto instruments continues to rise. The firm’s entry into the U.S. swaps space signals a broader industry trend toward maturing infrastructure and more sophisticated financial products in crypto markets. Michael Higgins, International CEO and Global Head of Corporate Development for Hidden Road said, “With the launch of our swap prime brokerage capabilities for the United States market, we can provide clients with access to an expanded range of products and solutions. By partnering with Ripple,” he added, “we can immediately solve the supply and demand issue for Hidden Road’s existing clients, expand our capacity to service our pipeline, and continue to scale.”
