Ripple Prime Strengthens Execution and Clearing Services
Ripple invested in TJM Investments and TJM Institutional Services to strengthen institutional trading and clearing operations. The partnership involves Ripple Prime providing infrastructure to TJM’s regulated brokerage businesses. The collaboration focuses on improving execution, clearing stability and capital efficiency for institutional investors accessing global and digital markets.
Ripple and TJM have worked together for years on institutional trade execution and clearing services. However, the expanded partnership deepens that relationship through a direct investment by Ripple.
According to Ripple, the move supports TJM’s execution and clearing workflows using Ripple Prime’s multi-asset prime brokerage platform. Ripple Prime provides infrastructure for trading, financing, and clearing across asset classes.
Notably, the platform aims to improve capital and collateral efficiency for institutional clients. As a result, TJM can offer enhanced balance-sheet support and more stable clearing services. Ripple President of Ripple Prime Noel Kimmel said the partnership builds on decades of trust between the firms.
Kimmel added that TJM’s execution experience complements Ripple Prime’s scale and market reach. He also confirmed Ripple’s role as a strategic investor in TJM. Therefore, the partnership connects institutional-grade infrastructure with established brokerage operations.
Institutional Market Access
TJM Investments operates as a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. Meanwhile, TJM Institutional Services functions as an NFA-registered introducing broker. Together, the regulated entities provide institutional clients with access to global markets. Importantly, the partnership maintains compliance standards expected by large financial institutions.
Steve Beitler, Co-Manager at TJM, said Ripple Prime already supports joint clients with operational reliability. He noted the investment helps TJM manage growing order flow across markets. Additionally, the infrastructure supports clearing and financing needs for institutional counterparties.
Digital Asset Expansion for Institutional Clients
The partnership also supports TJM’s planned expansion into digital assets. Using Ripple Prime’s digital market capabilities, TJM expects to extend coverage in coming months. Clients include hedge funds, family offices, asset managers and global investors.
Moreover, Ripple Prime’s platform enables institutions to integrate digital assets alongside traditional products. TJM can offer unified execution and clearing services across asset classes. The partnership focuses on operational efficiency rather than product promotion. As institutions seek regulated access to digital assets, the collaboration centers on execution, clearing, and infrastructure support only.
