Ripple Labs, the blockchain company behind the XRP token, has officially filed for a new trademark for the word mark ‘Ripple Custody.’ The filing, submitted on February 25, 2025, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), includes a broad range of services. Ripple seeks to offer downloadable software for the custody, transmission, and storage of various currencies, including cryptocurrency, fiat currency, virtual currency, and digital currency. The trademark also covers financial services related to the safekeeping of these assets for financial management purposes.
Ripple’s application includes offerings in multiple categories, including:
Downloadable software for custody and transmission of various digital currencies.
Custodial services, maintaining the storage and possession of digital and fiat currencies for financial management.
Peer-to-peer network services, enabling the electronic transmission of financial data over networks for custody and storage.
Software as a Service (SaaS), providing temporary online software for cryptocurrency custody, transmission, and storage.
Ripple’s recent trademark filing for “Ripple Custody” has sparked speculation about whether the company will launch a crypto wallet. The filing shows that Ripple is focused on offering secure storage and management for digital assets. While it doesn’t directly mention a wallet, this move suggests Ripple may expand its services to include wallet features in the future, helping users and businesses manage their cryptocurrencies more securely.
The application is currently in its early stages, with a status of “New Application” and no examiner yet assigned. While the filing process can take several months, Ripple’s move into custody services could further bolster its position within the crypto ecosystem, expanding its reach beyond cross-border payments to secure asset management solutions.
The global cryptocurrency custody market is expected to surge to $100 billion within the next decade, driven by growing institutional adoption and increasing regulatory clarity. As the demand for secure asset storage solutions rises, Ripple’s strategic moves to expand in this space position the company well to meet the needs of institutional clients, who require secure custody services for their digital assets.
