Ripple teamed up with SettleMint on Tuesday to offer banks and fintechs across Asia Pacific an integrated platform for digital asset custody (safekeeping crypto assets) and tokenization (creating digital representations of assets). The solution connects Ripple Custody with SettleMint's Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, allowing institutions to issue, manage and operate tokenized assets through one system rather than separate vendors. The companies have begun offering the combined service in Asia and plan to expand to other markets as demand grows. The partnership comes as a Boston Consulting Group report from May 2026 projected that tokenized real-world assets could reach $88 trillion by 2035, while banks that fail to adapt could face a 30% profit reduction over the same period. XRP ETF cumulative net inflows have reached approximately $1.8 billion, with Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart describing the flows as surprisingly resilient. Goldman Sachs has the largest reported XRP ETF exposure at roughly $87.45 million, followed by Jane Street Group at approximately $16.6 million and Millennium Management at approximately $16.2 million. XRP technical levels identified in the source include a bullish target of $1.45-$1.55 after a daily close above $1.40 and a bearish target of $1.30 after a daily close below $1.35.
