This announcement follows closely on the heels of Swift’s recent declaration regarding its intention to incorporate regulated digital assets into its global payment services. Although Swift did not explicitly reference XRP, the news has sparked discussions about potential digital assets that may be included, further emphasizing the growing convergence of blockchain technology with traditional financial systems.

Aaron Slettehaugh, Senior Vice President of Product at Ripple, highlighted the platform’s commitment to security and compliance in a recent announcement. He stated that Ripple’s custody technology provides a comprehensive solution for the protection and management of digital assets, meticulously crafted to adhere to the security and compliance requirements that leading global banks and financial institutions depend upon.

The upgraded Ripple Custody now features several important enhancements aimed at addressing the increasing needs of the digital asset market. Key additions include integration with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for the tokenization of real-world assets, new options for hardware security modules (HSM), pre-configured policy frameworks, and an enhanced user interface that improves overall usability.

One of the notable enhancements is the integration of XRPL, which allows enterprises to tokenize and oversee a diverse array of assets, such as cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, and tangible assets. This functionality also grants access to XRPL’s inherent decentralized exchange (DEX), promoting effective trading of tokenized assets with minimal fees.

To bolster its compliance framework, Ripple has announced a collaboration with Elliptic to incorporate transaction screening services. This partnership is designed to assist clients in monitoring transactions in real time, evaluating risks, and making informed decisions in accordance with established risk policies to fulfill regulatory obligations.

Ripple Custody now caters to prestigious banks, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency enterprises across key global financial markets, including Switzerland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
