    Ripple Custody Targets $16T Tokenization Market With Institutional-Grade Security

    Story Highlights
    • Ripple Custody is positioning itself as core infrastructure for banks as $16T in tokenized assets is expected by 2030.

    • The platform offers secure private key storage, full stablecoin lifecycle management, and automated governance tools.

    • Ripple Custody is already trusted by banks in 15+ countries, driving institutional adoption of crypto.

    Ripple is stepping up its game in digital finance, positioning Ripple Custody as the go-to platform for banks and institutions preparing for a tokenized future.Ā 

    With crypto assets under custody projected to hit $16 trillion by 2030, Ripple is making it clear that secure custody is the backbone of digital asset adoption.

    Custody Takes Center Stage

    In a blog post also shared by SBI CEO Yoshitaka Kitao, Ripple laid out its vision for a world where 10% of global assets are tokenized and traded on-chain within the next five years. Institutions, Ripple says, are looking for custody solutions with the same ā€œimpenetrable securityā€ and ā€œseamless trading accessā€ they’ve relied on for decades.

    For banks entering the digital asset space, the stakes are high. Strong custody infrastructure can unlock new revenue opportunities, while hesitation could leave institutions scrambling to catch up.

    Safekeeping: The Foundation of Trust

    Ripple Custody’s first priority is simple but critical – keep private keys safe. The platform offers bank-grade security, flexible SaaS or on-premise setups, and strict compliance frameworks to meet the demands of global regulators.

    Every tokenized treasury, real estate asset, or cryptocurrency rests on this layer of trust. According to Ripple, one breach can destroy confidence, but strong custody can set the stage for growth.

    Stablecoins at Scale

    Stablecoins are no longer a crypto experiment; they’re becoming key tools for payments and settlement. Ripple Custody offers full support for minting, burning, and managing stablecoins across the XRP Ledger and EVM-compatible blockchains.

    Some institutions are already putting this into action. SociĆ©tĆ© GĆ©nĆ©rale FORGE launched its euro-backed stablecoin, EURCV, on the XRP Ledger. In South Korea, BDACS is using Ripple’s own stablecoin, RLUSD, built specifically for institutional payment solutions.

    Governance Made Simple

    Ripple Custody is designed to simplify the back-end operations that slow banks down. By integrating with both public and private blockchains, it automates settlements, reconciliations, reporting, and compliance. The goal is to cut costs, reduce risk, and bring institutional processes in line with a fast-moving market.

    Ripple Custody is already in use by banks in over 15 countries, but its ambitions reach further. With tokenization accelerating, custody will define who leads in the next phase of global finance.
