Following the announcement, HYPE has gained 5% despite the ongoing crypto market downturn.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple has not announced additional DeFi integrations after the release, though industry sources expect further platform expansions in 2026 as prime brokers compete for institutional crypto flows.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple has made a new addition to its institutional trading platform as it adjusts its approach to decentralized markets.
