The next chapter in crypto is no longer speculative; it’s infrastructural. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, recently shed light on how institutional adoption is accelerating, and software developer Vincent Van Code believes XRP stands to benefit the most. His remarks come in response to a video shared by Ripple, where Garlinghouse explains how prime brokerage is unlocking trillions in institutional trade volume for crypto and DeFi. Prime Brokerage: The Bridge Between TradFi and DeFi In the Ripple video titled “Crypto in One Minute,” Garlinghouse explains that prime brokers are evolving from traditional banking strongholds into modern gateways for digital assets. Historically, major banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs controlled derivative clearing. Now, fintech firms like Hidden Road, recently acquired by Ripple, are challenging them with digital-native solutions Multi trillion dollars markets are coming to XRP and crypto. Gone are the days where crypto was just a "hedge" or let's say a "threat" against fiat, it is now becoming compliant, legal and finally adopted rightfully as TECHNOLOGY not weaponized to take down governments and… https://t.co/FjrsOclYqA — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) July 25, 2025 According to Garlinghouse , prime brokers simplify access for hedge funds, trading desks, and market makers by serving as a unified venue for all their asset needs, from traditional instruments to crypto. The inclusion of digital assets into this flow, backed by a strong balance sheet, allows institutions to engage with crypto markets through trusted, regulated channels. Vincent Van Code: XRP Is Positioned to Capture Trillions Reacting to the video, Vincent Van Code posted that multi-trillion-dollar markets are finally coming to XRP and crypto. He emphasized that the perception of crypto has shifted. Once seen as a hedge or a threat to Fiat, it’s now being recognized as vital technology, compliant, legal, and ready to support institutional scale. He credits Ripple and its years of foundational work as key to XRP’s current position. The XRP Ledger (XRPL), with its low fees, scalability, and regulatory alignment, has quietly become a top-tier infrastructure layer for DeFi. Van Code believes it has already carved out a significant market share, not by fighting the system, but by helping transform it from the inside.

The asset remains technically bullish, holding support above the 21-day EMA and 33-day SMA, both pointing upward. This suggests that the pullback is more likely a consolidation than a reversal. With ongoing developments around Ripple’s institutional partnerships and regulatory progress, many analysts believe XRP is laying the groundwork for a more sustained upward move, especially as financial institutions begin to allocate more capital toward regulated crypto assets. XRP’s Institutional Era Has Begun The convergence of traditional finance and DeFi is no longer a theory; it’s unfolding now. Prime brokers like Hidden Road are reshaping how institutions engage with digital assets, and XRP is positioned at the center of that transition. As Vincent Van Code observed, crypto is no longer about resistance; it’s about integration. And in that reality, XRP isn’t just participating; it’s leading.
