Among the most relevant features of the update is the integration of compliance tools. Ripple has added a real-time transaction monitoring system, developed in collaboration with the company Elliptic. This feature allows clients to assess risks more effectively and meet regulatory standards, improving transparency and trust in operations. Additionally, hardware security modules (HSM) have been incorporated on cloud platforms, facilitating the secure management and implementation of digital assets.
Ripple Enables RWA Tokenization
Another key aspect of the update is the integration with the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which now enables the tokenization of real-world assets. This adds new options for the management and issuance of both digital and fiat assets directly from the Ripple Custody platform. Moreover, users can access the native decentralized exchange (DEX) of XRPL, offering low-fee trading options, creating new opportunities for expanding businesses.
Ripple Custody has seen rapid growth in recent months, with a 250% increase in its client base, demonstrating the growing demand for custody solutions compliant with international regulations.
Where Is the Service Available?
Among the key markets where the service is available are the United States, Switzerland, Germany, and Singapore. Clients include BBVA Switzerland and DBS. This expansion reflects the interest in solutions that combine security and scalability in a global context where financial digitalization is advancing rapidly.
The new compliance tools, along with pre-configured policy frameworks, are expected to be available starting in December 2024 for select clients, with a broader release planned for early 2025
