Hidden Road Secures FINRA Broker-Dealer Approval 

Hidden Road Partners CIV US LLC, a subsidiary of prime broker Hidden Road, has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to operate as a FINRA-member broker-dealer. 

This new status enables Hidden Road to provide institutional clients with regulatory-compliant prime brokerage, clearing, and financing services for fixed income assets. The approval enhances the firm’s recently expanded fixed income prime brokerage platform, which includes a June 2024 agreement to distribute Trading Technologies’ (TT) multi-asset trading platform to its clients. 

Hidden Road’s fixed income prime brokerage platform currently encompasses fixed income repo and global funding services. 

“Our broker-dealer registration is a significant step in the development of Hidden Road’s fixed income prime brokerage platform and bolsters our capabilities in traditional financial markets,” said Noel Kimmel, President at Hidden Road. 

The FINRA approval follows Hidden Road’s $1.25 billion acquisition by digital asset infrastructure provider Ripple.
