리플, 월스트리트를 연중무휴 주식 베팅의 세계로 인도하지만 HSBC는 시장이 여전히 얇다고 경고

Ripple is expanding its institutional brokerage platform, Ripple Prime, to offer round-the-clock trading on US equity exposures backed by RLUSD stablecoin collateral. The setup allows hedge funds and proprietary desks to hedge stock positions over weekends without waiting for traditional clearinghouses to open on Monday morning. Despite the technological milestone, HSBC research warned that off-hours liquidity remains fragmented, creating wide bid-ask spreads for large institutional orders. Market makers remain reluctant to warehouse heavy overnight equity risk when underlying primary exchanges and ETF creation desks are closed. Still, continuous stablecoin-margined settlement marks a growing convergence between crypto market structure and Wall Street prime brokerage.
