Ripple expands institutional trading push with TJM partnership

The deal is less about chasing returns and more about access to familiar market structures, regulated intermediaries and predictable settlement.

What to know:

  • Ripple deepened its relationship with TJM Investments, taking a minority stake to support its trading and clearing operations.
  • The partnership builds on Ripple Prime and aims to offer digital asset trading to TJM clients while adhering to traditional financial regulations.
  • This move reflects a trend where crypto exposure is increasingly managed through regulated brokers and platforms, rather than offshore venues.

Ripple said it deepened its relationship with brokerage firm TJM Investments, buying a minority stake that takes it further into the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that institutions use to trade and settle assets.

Ripple will support the trading and clearing operations of TJM, a U.S.-regulated broker-dealer, as part of the arrangement. The companies did not disclose financial terms.

The relationship builds on Ripple’s institutional platform, Ripple Prime, which provides trading, financing and collateral tools to hedge funds, asset managers and family offices. TJM plans to use the connection to offer digital asset trading to clients in the coming months.

Rather than running an exchange or pushing new tokens, Ripple has been positioning itself as a service provider for firms that already operate inside traditional financial rules.

That approach is gaining traction as volatility, regulation and past exchange failures have made institutions more cautious about where and how they trade crypto.

For large investors, the appeal is less about chasing returns and more about access to familiar market structures, regulated intermediaries and predictable settlement.

Deals like this reflect that shift, with crypto exposure increasingly flowing through brokers and prime-style platforms instead of offshore venues.

Ripple Prime has been building out over the past year, aiming to mirror traditional prime brokerage services with a service adapted for digital assets. The TJM investment reinforces that strategy, suggesting Ripple is betting on long-term institutional positioning rather than short-term trading hype.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
