Ripple, the leading provider of blockchain solutions across traditional and digital finance, and BNY, a global financial services company, announced an expansion of their strategic collaboration to broaden institutional digital asset custody capabilities and explore new institutional use cases for blockchain technology, including tokenized trade finance.

Building on BNY’s role as primary reserve custodian for Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, and its custody relationship with Ripple Prime, BNY now supports XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, and RLUSD on its Digital Asset Custody platform. BNY’s platform is designed to provide institutional clients with secure digital asset custody within the governance, controls and resiliency of its broader servicing model, giving eligible clients a seamless way to safekeep, hold and transfer digital assets.
“We’re moving past the initial issuance of assets onchain – now, it’s all about making these tokenized assets usable for payments and collateral across financial markets,” said Monica Long, President of Ripple. “With BNY, we’re connecting the necessary components of financial infrastructure on the XRP Ledger so institutions can move from holding digital assets to using them within capital markets and trade finance seamlessly.”
“Future market infrastructure will deliver connectivity across payments, liquidity, collateral and securities, driven by architected bridges between traditional scaled systems and always-on blockchain technology,” said Carolyn Weinberg, Chief Innovation and Market Transformation Officer at BNY.
