Ripple is rolling out a new suite of crypto storage services designed to help banks and fintech firms securely store and manage crypto assets, according to a new report from CNBC. The initiative is part of Ripple’s strategy to diversify its offerings beyond traditional payment settlement operations.
Discussing the latest development, Aaron Slettehaugh, Senior Vice President of Product at Ripple, said the goal is to support the growing needs of businesses operating in the crypto and fintech sectors.
“With new features, Ripple Custody is expanding its capabilities to better serve high-growth crypto and fintech businesses with secure and scalable digital asset custody,” Slettehaugh said.
According to Ripple, the new features come with a more user-friendly interface for storing and managing digital assets. The services also include advanced operational and policy settings, integration with the XRP Ledger, and enhanced anti-money laundering monitoring to ensure compliance.
Under the Ripple Custody brand, the firm plans to allow clients to tokenize real-world assets using its XRP Ledger.
Ripple Custody operates in several countries and is trusted by several top companies like HSBC, BBVA, Societe Generale, and DBS. Ripple said that its custody division experienced over 250% year-on-year customer growth.
Ripple’s expansion into the custody sector follows its acquisitions of Metaco and Standard Custody & Trust Company, targeting bolstering Ripple’s custody capabilities.
The expansion positions Ripple against established firms in the crypto custody market, which is projected to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. Ripple Custody directly competes with well-established custody solutions by Coinbase, BitGo, and Gemini.
Ripple is gearing up to enter the stablecoin market with its upcoming stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD). RLUSD is in beta testing, with trials being conducted on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains.
As with its custody move, Ripple faces challenges as it enters a crowded stablecoin market dominated by established players. While there is potential for RLUSD, it will need to differentiate itself from existing offerings to gain traction.
