In an exciting move for the Turkish crypto market, Garanti BBVA has announced a partnership with Ripple and IBM to enhance its crypto trading platform, offering advanced security and custodial services to its growing customer base. This collaboration marks a significant step forward, especially as Garanti BBVA Kripto is the first major client to adopt Ripple’s newly launched Ripple Custody solution.
Read on to discover what this partnership really entails.
By combining the strengths of Ripple and IBM, Garanti plans to deliver top-tier security features, including advanced data encryption and a solid governance framework designed to protect client assets. This strategic alliance will help the bank manage risks from malicious actors, ensuring a secure trading environment for over 14,000 users.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Garanti BBVA Kripto to bolster the development of Türkiye’s vibrant crypto asset market. Secure custody is foundational to unlocking value and addressing the growing demand for new asset classes across the digital economy.” – Aaron Sears, SVP of Global Customer & Partner Success at Ripple
This partnership will not only enhance the performance and security of Garanti’s crypto trading platform but also integrate embedded Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) with top certifications. This added protection will significantly strengthen defenses against cyber threats, boosting user confidence.
Despite facing ongoing challenges, including a legal battle with the SEC, Ripple remains focused on innovation and continues to provide transformative solutions to the cryptocurrency industry. Alongside this partnership, Ripple is also preparing for a potential IPO within the next 12 months.
