Ripple has strengthened its position in the institutional digital asset infrastructure market by announcing a series of strategic collaborations designed to expand the capabilities of Ripple Custody. Through new partnerships with Securosys and Figment, alongside its recent integration with Chainalysis and acquisition of Palisade, Ripple is actively enhancing its custody ecosystem to better support banks, custodians, and regulated financial institutions. As digital assets continue gaining mainstream institutional adoption, organizations increasingly require secure, compliant, and scalable custody infrastructure. Therefore, Ripple is focusing on simplifying deployment, accelerating time-to-market, and reducing operational complexity for enterprise customers.
First, Ripple has integrated advanced hardware security module (HSM) capabilities from Securosys, a recognized provider of high-security cryptographic infrastructure. Through this collaboration, Ripple now offers CyberVault HSM and CloudHSM capabilities, enabling institutions to deploy enterprise-grade cryptographic key protection both on-premises and in cloud environments. Traditionally, HSM deployment required significant upfront investment, complex procurement cycles, and specialized infrastructure management. However, Ripple’s ready-to-deploy integration significantly reduces these barriers. As a result, banks and custodians can maintain direct control over cryptographic keys while benefiting from scalable, cost-efficient deployment models.

Additionally, Ripple Custody now supports one of the broadest ranges of HSM providers available in the market. This capability is particularly important for institutions operating across multiple regulatory jurisdictions, where compliance requirements often vary significantly. By expanding HSM interoperability, Ripple ensures customers can meet region-specific regulatory mandates without redesigning their custody architecture.
“Institutions require absolute confidence in how cryptographic keys are secured and managed,” said Robert Rogenmoser, CEO of Securosys. “By integrating our CyberVault HSM with Ripple Custody, institutions gain an out-of-the-box, enterprise-grade solution that can be deployed quickly, without added complexity, while retaining full control over their cryptographic keys.”
Furthermore, Ripple has expanded its institutional services portfolio through a new partnership with Figment, a leading provider of blockchain staking infrastructure. Through this collaboration, Ripple Custody clients can now offer staking services for major Proof-of-Stake networks such as Ethereum and Solana. Importantly, institutions can enable staking services without building or managing validator infrastructure themselves. This significantly reduces operational overhead while maintaining enterprise-level security and governance controls.

By embedding staking directly into custody workflows, institutions can create new revenue streams while preserving compliance and risk management standards. Consequently, banks and financial institutions can offer staking rewards to customers without introducing additional operational risk.
“Ripple Custody’s partnership with Figment brings secure, institutional staking to the largest banks and enterprises,” said Ben Spiegelman, VP – Head of Partnerships & Corporate Development at Figment. “By combining Ripple’s enterprise-grade custody technology with Figment’s secure, non-custodial staking platform, we’re giving regulated institutions a way to offer staking rewards to their customers on several blockchain networks.”
Moreover, these new partnerships build on Ripple’s recent momentum in the digital asset custody space. The acquisition of Palisade enables faster wallet provisioning and scalable wallet infrastructure, particularly for fintech companies and institutional clients. At the same time, Ripple’s integration with Chainalysis introduces real-time transaction screening and compliance enforcement directly into custody workflows. This allows institutions to detect suspicious transactions and enforce policy controls before digital assets are transferred.
“Institutions need cohesive systems in order to make the most of digital asset capabilities,” said Aaron Slettehaugh, SVP of Product at Ripple. “By bringing best-in-class security, compliance, and staking to Ripple Custody customers, we’re removing the friction of managing complex tech stacks and enabling our customers to go live faster and scale with confidence.”
Overall, Ripple’s latest custody enhancements reflect the growing demand for integrated digital asset infrastructure that combines security, compliance, and operational efficiency. As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates globally, platforms that deliver production-ready, enterprise-grade custody solutions will play a central role in shaping the future of regulated digital finance.
