Ripple is accelerating its push into enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure with a new set of partnerships that significantly expand the capabilities of its custody platform.
Key Takeaways
Ripple is expanding its custody platform to better serve regulated institutions.
HSM-based security and embedded compliance are now core features.
Native staking is added without requiring institutions to run validators.
The latest moves strengthen Ripple Custody across security, compliance, and yield generation, as regulated institutions demand solutions that are ready for production use rather than experimentation.
Enterprise security upgraded with HSM support
A key part of the announcement is Ripple’s collaboration with Securosys, which brings CyberVault HSM and CloudHSM functionality directly into Ripple Custody. This allows banks and custodians to deploy hardware-backed key management either on-premises or in the cloud, without the usual procurement delays and high costs associated with HSM infrastructure.
The integration gives institutions direct control over cryptographic keys while supporting a wide range of regulatory and operational requirements. By expanding its supported HSM providers, Ripple is positioning its custody stack to operate seamlessly across multiple jurisdictions.

Staking added as a native custody feature
Ripple is also expanding the commercial use cases of its custody offering through a partnership with Figment. The integration enables custody clients to offer staking on major proof-of-stake networks, including Ethereum and Solana, without running validator infrastructure themselves.
By embedding staking directly into custody workflows, institutions can introduce yield-generating services while preserving the same governance, security, and compliance standards expected from enterprise custody products.
Momentum builds across Ripple’s custody stack
The latest partnerships follow a string of recent developments that have reshaped Ripple’s custody strategy. The acquisition of Palisade expanded wallet scalability and accelerated feature delivery for fintechs and institutional clients. At the same time, Ripple integrated Chainalysis into custody execution flows, enabling real-time transaction screening and policy enforcement before assets move.
Together, these components aim to reduce operational complexity by replacing fragmented vendor stacks with a unified system that covers security, compliance, custody, and staking.
A unified approach for regulated institutions
Ripple’s broader strategy reflects a growing institutional preference for cohesive infrastructure rather than piecing together multiple point solutions. By combining HSM-based security, embedded compliance, scalable wallets, and native staking, Ripple Custody is positioning itself as an end-to-end platform designed to help banks and custodians go live faster and scale digital asset services with confidence.
