How Ripple’s Crypto Custody Launch Will Boost XRP Price by 25%

Published by

Ripple is branching out beyond its payment settlement business by launching a new crypto custody service. XRP’s current price sits at $0.5265, and crypto analysts are predicting a potential 25% growth based on historical trends. What could this mean for the XRP market? Let’s explore.

Ripple Custody: A New Solution for Banks and Fintech Firms

Ripple has combined all its crypto custody services under one brand—‘Ripple Custody.’ This service is designed to help banks and fintech companies securely store digital assets. Its key features include pre-configured operational settings, policy controls, and integration with the Ripple XRP Ledger. The platform also offers anti-money laundering risk monitoring and a more user-friendly interface to simplify asset management.

The integration with XRP Ledger doesn’t just improve security. It also allows users to tokenize real-world assets and access Ripple’s decentralized exchange, where they can trade quickly and at low fees, without needing middlemen.

The Growing Crypto Custody Market

Boston Consulting Group predicts the crypto custody market will grow to $16 trillion by 2030. While major players like Coinbase, Gemini, and Fireblocks currently dominate this sector, Ripple Custody is emerging as a strong competitor. Ripple Custody has seen 250% year-over-year growth, operates in seven countries, and counts big names like HSBC, BBVA, Societe Generale, and DBS among its clients.

Ripple’s acquisitions of Metaco and Standard Custody & Trust are seen as moves to strengthen its position in this competitive space.

Ripple Market Scenario: An Overview

The recent decision of the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission to appeal against a federal court judgement that favored Ripple’s stand on the security status of XRP slightly disrupted the future prospects of the XRP market. 

On September 30, the price of XRP was around $0.64091. On October 1, it dropped to $0.59684, in line with the general downtrend in the crypto market following the escalation of the Israel-Iran crisis. On October 2, the decline continued, with the price hitting a low of $0.53842. On October 3, it further slipped to a monthly low of $0.52207. Since October 5, the market has been fluctuating within a narrow range between $0.53408 and $0.52407.    

Can XRP Achieve 25% Growth?

Despite recent market volatility and regulatory challenges, experts remain optimistic about XRP’s future. Factors like whale movements, historical price patterns, and Ripple Custody’s launch suggest that the predicted 25% growth may still be achievable.
