These moves aim to accelerate time-to-market, simplify procurement, and provide regulated institutions with scalable solutions.

Ripple’s New Custody Capabilities for Institutional Clients

Ripple’s partnership with Securosys introduces CyberVault HSM and CloudHSM capabilities, allowing institutions to deploy hardware security modules (HSM) for custody solutions. The new offerings eliminate the complexity and high costs traditionally associated with HSM-based custody.

With both on-premise and cloud options, customers can meet their specific security needs while maintaining high levels of protection. According to Robert Rogenmoser, CEO of Securosys, the integration of CyberVault HSM with Ripple Custody provides a ready-to-deploy enterprise-grade solution.

This solution allows institutions to maintain full control over their cryptographic keys while offering scalable and cost-effective custody options. Ripple now supports one of the broadest ranges of HSM providers, ensuring compliance across various regulatory environments.

Partnership with Figment to Enhance Staking Capabilities

Ripple’s collaboration with Figment brings staking capabilities to its Custody clients, allowing institutions to offer staking for Proof-of-Stake networks like Ethereum and Solana. By integrating staking directly into custody workflows, Ripple enables banks, custodians, and regulated enterprises to provide these services without building their own validator infrastructure.

This partnership aligns Ripple with Figment’s secure, non-custodial staking platform to offer clients a seamless staking experience. Ben Spiegelman, VP at Figment, highlighted that the partnership enables Ripple’s clients to offer secure staking rewards while ensuring compliance and security.

The integration of staking allows Ripple Custody clients to expand their product offerings, maintaining the high standards of security and governance required for institutional clients. This move positions Ripple to further capitalize on the growing demand for staking services across the financial sector.
