Ripple expands Brevan Howard deal with prime brokerage services

Ripple Prime will provide multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing services to funds managed by Brevan Howard, a global investment manager with about $35 billion in assets.　　Under the expanded agreement, Brevan Howard will gain access to Ripple Primes services across traditional and digital asset markets, according to a Tuesday announcement.　　The deal builds on an existing relationship between the firms. Brevan Howard-affiliated funds participated in a $500 million investment in Ripple in 2025 that valued the company at $40 billion.　　“As digital and traditional markets become more interconnected, the need for institutional-quality digital asset infrastructure that enables a seamless experience for investors is only growing,” Brevan Howard chief operating officer Alan McGroarty said.　　The investment manager serves global clients including sovereign wealth funds, corporate and public pension plans, foundations and endowments.　　The agreement comes as Ripple expands its prime brokerage business. In August, Ripple Prime raised $275 million through a senior note offering to fund its expansion into prime brokerage, financing and multi-asset clearing. Ripple launched the business after acquiring prime broker Hidden Road for about $1.25 billion in 2025.

Arbitrum joins Paxos-led stablecoin group Global Dollar to capture digital dollar growth

Arbitrum is joining the Global Dollar Network, the Paxos-led stablecoin consortium behind $USDG, as the Ethereum layer-2 network looks to capture a slice of the economics from the stablecoins already circulating on its rails.　　$USDG has launched on Arbitrum on Tuesday with integrations spanning trading, lending and payments, including Fluid, Morpho, GMX, Maple, Li.Fi, Gauntlet, Steakhouse, LayerZero and Kraken. Uniswap and Fhenix are set to follow.　　The stablecoin is issued by Paxos, backed one-for-one by dollar reserves and has more than $3 billion in circulation across networks. Global Dollar Network has more than 150 partners, including Robinhood, Kraken, Mastercard, and OKX. Its model distributes rewards generated by $USDG reserves among partners that help drive adoption, rather than leaving those economics solely with the issuer.　　That model gives Arbitrum a new way to make money from the stablecoin activity happening on its network. There is currently about $3.8 billion of stablecoins on the network, with Circles USDC accounting for roughly 60%, DefiLlama data shows. Arbitrum doesnt get a share directly in the reserve income generated by those tokens.　　“With $USDG, Arbitrum and builders across the platform now have a stake in the growth upside,” said Brendan Ma, head of investment strategy at the Arbitrum Foundation.　　A

OKX Money lets users save, earn 10% yield and spend dollar stablecoins in one app

OKX introduced a consumer app that lets eligible customers convert over 50 local currencies into dollar-backed stablecoins, earn rewards on those balances, and spend from a virtual or physical card.　　OKX Money allows users in participating markets to fund accounts with local currencies and hold $USDG, $USDC or USDT. Customers can send stablecoins, switch among supported tokens without conversion fees and use a card for purchases in other currencies, where OKX says it will charge no foreign-exchange fee or markup, according to a statement released Tuesday.　　“Hundreds of millions of people have been excluded from dollar-denominated savings and frictionless global spending because the infrastructure was never built for them,” OKX said, adding that OKX Money is the first step in a longer program.　　Qualifying customers can earn up to 10% annual percentage yield (APY) on eligible $USDG holdings without a lockup or staking requirement, OKX said. The app also offers up to 10% cashback on eligible purchases and referral rewards. Product availability, rates, and eligibility vary by location.　　While others offer similar services, OKX‘s app aims to target non-crypto users. Binance Pay also allows users to hold stablecoins, spend globally, earn passive yield and send cross-border payments with zero gas fees. Coinbase’s Coinbase One
