Ripple Labs and SettleMint have announced a strategic alliance: the Ripple Custody service will be integrated into the SettleMint Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform (DALP). This will provide regulated financial institutions with a unified solution for storing, issuing, and managing tokenized assets throughout their entire lifecycle.

LINE_BREZ This offering, announced in Singapore, has already been launched in Asia, and the companies intend to expand it to other regions as institutional demand grows. In addition to banks, this solution is aimed at market infrastructure operators and sovereign entities, adding regulatory compliance, settlement, and servicing capabilities to its storage and issuance features. As a result, institutions no longer need to engage different providers for each task.

Financial institutions across the Asia-Pacific region are actively integrating digital assets into their operations. They are looking for ways to achieve more without having to piece together disparate solutions for storage, issuance, and management, noted Fiona Murray, Ripples Managing Director for the Asia-Pacific region.

The joint press release cites the Boston Consulting Groups May 2026 report, The Future of Digital Assets, which describes the shift to digital assets as a fundamental transformation of the financial infrastructure.

Today, we are proud to announce a significant partnership between SettleMint and @Ripple, which provides regulated financial institutions with a single, integrated platform for the custody, issuance, and lifecycle management of digital assets. , detected_source_language: EN

According to BCG forecasts, the market value of tokenized real assets could reach $88 trillion by 2035, and banks that fail to adapt to these changes risk losing up to 30% of their profits over the same period.

In other countries in the region, Ripple conducted a pilot project with RLUSD in the Singapore Monetary Authoritys sandbox in March, in collaboration with Unloq, a company specializing in supply chain financing. The XRP Ledger was also used in a cross-border pilot involving JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance, where settlements for tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds took less than five seconds.

Since its founding, Ripple has been selling infrastructure to banks and payment providers for payments, asset custody, liquidity provision, and treasury management, and has built a portfolio of asset cus

tody solutions through a series of acquisitions. Ripples total spending on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate venture investments in crypto infrastructure amounted to approximately $4 billion.

These include partnerships with Securosys and Figment, integration with Chainalysis, a compliance analytics firm, and the acquisition of wallet infrastructure provider Palisade, which enabled the implementation of MPC-based key sharding and support for multiple blockchains.

SettleMint provides support at all stages of the lifecycle. The company, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium (with offices in the UAE, Singapore, and Japan), stated that its modular DALP platform is already in use in production and pre-production environments in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region for banks, market operators, and government agencies.
