Ripple Prime Broadens Multi-Asset Prime Services for Brevan Howard

Ripple Prime has expanded its relationship with Brevan Howard, adding multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing for the alternative investment manager's funds across both traditional and digital markets. Ripple said the broader offering is intended to boost capital efficiency and streamline workflows for Brevan Howard's investment teams by delivering services through a single, regulated platform. The company added that the move reflects rising institutional demand for prime brokerage capabilities that span both market segments. Noel Kimmel, President of Ripple Prime, said the expanded mandate underscores Brevan Howard's confidence in Ripple Prime's cross-asset capabilities and represents a long-term commitment between the firms. Alan McGroarty, Group COO of Brevan Howard, said the increasing convergence of traditional and digital markets is driving the need for digital asset infrastructure that offers a seamless institutional experience. He said Ripple's platform is expected to improve operational execution and enhance capital efficiency for Brevan Howard's teams. The agreement builds on an existing relationship. Funds managed by Brevan Howard affiliates participated in Ripple's $500 million strategic investment in 2025, alongside Fortress and Citadel Securities. Ripple said that round valued the company at $40 billion and viewed the participation as an endorsement of its growth trajectory and long-term vision. Ripple Prime said the updated arrangement extends its service coverage to Brevan Howard funds across traditional and digital asset classes and products, adding prime brokerage, clearing and financing to the partnership.
