Ripple Prime lands $200M debt facility from Neuberger Berman to scale institutional margin lending!

Ripple Prime has secured a $200 million asset-based debt facility from Neuberger Berman's specialty-finance group, with the capital earmarked to expand margin lending capacity for institutional clients, Bloomberg reported.

The facility enables Ripple's prime brokerage platform to offer unified credit lines spanning equities, fixed income, and digital assets — using margin loans as collateral. The cross-asset structure is the notable detail: institutional clients get a single credit line across traditional and crypto markets rather than siloed borrowing arrangements.

Neuberger Berman's involvement signals that established TradFi asset managers are increasingly willing to provide structured debt to crypto-native prime brokers — a validation of the institutional infrastructure Ripple has been building around XRP and broader digital asset markets.
