DTCC's NSCC Goes Live With 24x5 Clearing; Ripple Prime Becomes Direct Member

According to a DTCC announcement, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) has gone live with 24x5 clearing to support nearly continuous post-trade infrastructure for U.S. equities. The rollout has gained backing from major industry players including Nasdaq, Cboe, MEMX, OTC Markets, Instinet, Apex Fintech, Blue Ocean Technologies, and Bruce Markets.

Ripple Prime, a direct NSCC member following Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road, continues to leverage the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for institutional over-the-counter trading and capital markets services. The development signals blockchain firms increasingly integrating into core financial infrastructure rather than operating on the fringes.
