These products enable secure asset management and transfer in addition to storage both digital and fiat assets thus showing the company’s dedication to serve institutional requirements using scalable software solutions.
Security Features Aim to Attract Institutions

Ripple Custody will enhance both transaction volume and enable broader asset support features for XRP Ledger while acting as its supporting infrastructure. By taking this step the ledger will become a versatile platform that can assist in processing both tokenized financial instruments like securities and derivatives.
