Ripple expands Brevan Howard deal with prime brokerage services
Ripple Prime will provide prime brokerage, clearing and financing services to funds managed by the $35 billion alternative investment manager. 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 Prime’s 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 <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ripple-raises-275m-us-prime-brokerage" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">$275 million through a senior note offering</a> 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. <em><strong>Magazine: </strong></em><a href="https://" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em><strong>Too big to pause: Could an AI slowdown crash the economy?</strong></em></a>

BHP sells shuttered Australian nickel plant to Gold Fields.

In a statement on Wednesday, BHP said Gold Fields will "assess the long-term use of the concentrator." The transaction includes mining leases and mineral rights. Affected by a global nickel supply glut and a price crash, BHP shut down the Kambalda concentrator in mid-2024 and simultaneously suspended all nickel operations in Western Australia. BHP said it is still evaluating its overall nickel business; decisions on the disposal of remaining assets, including the nickel refinery, smelter and two large mines, are expected to be announced in February 2027. Dragged down by a surge in output of the battery metal from Indonesia, the world's largest mining group took a $2.5 billion impairment charge on its nickel assets in 2024.
