On March 2, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) added Ripple Prime to its National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) directory.

Abs Nassif, host of the Good Evening Crypto podcast, shared a video where Digital Asset Investor, another prominent figure in the community, spoke about that development.

The video walked through a private equity document from OPCO Advisory, Inc. that has XRP holders paying close attention. The document places Ripple inside a system most Americans never see but rely on every time they trade a stock. DTCC sits behind nearly every securities transaction in the U.S.

Ripple built Ripple Prime from Hidden Road, a prime brokerage it acquired in 2025 for $1.25 billion. The OPCO report calls the NSCC addition “the first crypto-linked infrastructure provider with direct access to U.S. clearing rails.”

Inside The OPCO Report

The OpCo report titles its Ripple section “The Bridge Is Being Built From Both Sides.” It also covers the Canton Network alongside Ripple. The report treats both as candidates for connecting blockchain settlement to traditional finance. Digital Asset Investor pointed to the report’s language as leaving little room for guesswork.

Hidden Road cleared roughly $3 trillion a year for more than 300 institutional clients before Ripple bought it. A listing on the NSCC directory grants a firm direct operational standing within the post-trade workflows used by the world’s largest financial institutions. Ripple now holds that standing.

Regulators Are Opening the Door Wider

Digital Asset Investor also drew attention to a passage describing the current administration’s posture toward crypto firms. That passage states that regulators want to let firms like Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple compete with regulated financial institutions.

It notes that these firms are pushing the SEC to let them combine brokerage, exchange, custody, and clearing under one roof instead of splitting those functions across separate intermediaries. That regulatory push lines up with what Ripple has already built.

Where This Fits Into DTCC’s Bigger Plans

DTCC isn’t stopping at one listing. The corporation has filed patents naming Ripple and the XRP Ledger as compatible infrastructure for tokenized finance. DTCC is also preparing to launch tokenization of major stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries. Ripple Prime is positioned to handle post-trade flows tied to that effort.

Ripple Prime carries credentials that let it clear trades the same way Wall Street’s largest firms do. That standing puts XRP-linked infrastructure inside the clearing rails that run U.S. capital markets, a position no crypto-native firm held before this listing.
