Ripple Prime Expands Bullish BTC Options Access with RLUSD Utility, Cross-Margining Ahead Near $75K

Ripple Prime has deepened its Bullish integration as of April 30, 2026, enabling institutional clients to trade Bitcoin options using RLUSD for settlement and P&L, with cross-margining planned for single-collateral efficiency across venues. Launched live on April 29, the partnership grants no-KYC access to Bullish's second-largest BTC options market ($3-32.8 billion open interest) via existing accounts, alongside OKX listing RLUSD across 280 pairs as margin collateral. Building on Ripple's $3 trillion 2025 volume and $1.25 billion Hidden Road buyout for $30 trillion clearing, these moves enhance BTC derivatives liquidity and institutional demand as Bitcoin holds near $75,817.
