Blockchain payments company Ripple is expanding its institutional digital asset custody services through new partnerships designed to strengthen security infrastructure and broaden staking capabilities for large financial clients.
The company announced collaborations with cybersecurity provider Securosys and staking infrastructure firm Figment, moves aimed at helping banks, asset managers, and regulated institutions deploy digital asset custody solutions more quickly while meeting compliance and security requirements.
Enhanced Security for Institutional CustodyUnder the partnership with Securosys, Ripple will integrate high-security hardware security module (HSM) technology into its custody platform. These systems allow institutions to manage cryptographic keys directly while maintaining strong security protections across both cloud-based and on-premises environments. Industry analysts say such infrastructure is increasingly important as financial institutions seek enterprise-grade storage solutions for digital assets.
Institutional Staking Added to Custody ServicesRipple’s collaboration with Figment will enable institutional clients using its custody platform to access staking services for proof-of-stake blockchain networks, including Ethereum and Solana. By offering staking as part of custody workflows, financial institutions can participate in blockchain network validation and earn staking rewards without building their own validator infrastructure.
Part of Broader Institutional Expansion StrategyThe new partnerships follow a series of recent developments in Ripple’s institutional services, including expanded compliance integrations and infrastructure upgrades intended to support regulated financial institutions entering the digital asset market. Analysts note that as institutional participation in cryptocurrencies grows, demand for integrated custody, compliance, and staking solutions has increased significantly.
Growing Institutional Focus in the Digital Asset SectorRipple’s latest moves reflect a broader industry trend in which financial technology firms are building infrastructure tailored to banks, custodians, and large enterprises seeking exposure to digital assets. As regulatory clarity gradually improves in several jurisdictions, market participants expect institutional-grade custody and asset management platforms to play a larger role in the next phase of digital asset adoption.
