Ripple states that without secure and compliant custody, expanding digital asset strategies for payments, tokenization, and staking (locking crypto to earn rewards) becomes significantly more difficult.
Ripple said secure and compliant custody is a key requirement for scaling digital asset strategies tied to payments, tokenization, and staking (locking crypto to earn rewards). The statement points to custody as core market infrastructure because institutions and businesses typically need safekeeping, operational controls, and regulatory alignment before expanding crypto-related services. In practice, custody supports the use of digital assets in payments and tokenized products by helping firms manage private keys and asset security.
