【🚨 Ripple lets Wall Street trade stocks, gold, and crude oil on weekends too! HSBC pours cold water on the idea: liquidity is the real test!】 Click the Gate link below to join the group and claim strategies! https://gate.onelink.me/Hls0/group?chatroom=AxfYQ250RA US stocks have closed, but the market may not necessarily be quiet. Breaking news over the weekend could affect stock prices, gold, and crude oil, but when traditional markets are closed, institutions often lack flexible trading and hedging tools. Now, Ripple is trying to change that. On October 15, Ripple's institutional brokerage business, Ripple Prime, launched a new service that allows institutional clients to trade swaps linked to more than 100 stock, commodity, and foreign exchange markets around the clock, using the dollar stablecoin RLUSD as collateral. 📌 What exactly is this? Simply put, investors do not have to buy stocks or gold directly. Instead, they bet on price movements in the underlying assets through contracts. Even when traditional exchanges are closed over the weekend, the related contracts can continue to trade. 🔥 But HSBC warns: having access to trading does not mean the market is mature enough. HSBC believes this service is an incremental innovation, and that liquidity is the real challenge. If there are not enough buyers and sellers, large trades may face wider spreads and greater price impact. Early participants may be more likely to be market makers, professional trading firms, and hedge funds, rather than traditional institutions making large-scale asset allocations. The risks have already become apparent: recently, leveraged contracts tied to chip stocks triggered nearly $52 million in liquidations in just 10 minutes, while the underlying stock market was not open. 📊 Why is this worth paying attention to? Ripple is connecting traditional financial assets, stablecoins, and round-the-clock trading. But this does not mean users directly own the corresponding stocks, nor does it mean XRP will necessarily benefit. Whether the product can scale ultimately depends on liquidity, trading costs, and risk management.
