Ripple Develops Institutional Infrastructure for XRP Adoption
- Vincent Van Code claims Ripple’s focus has shifted from “market structure” to “plumbing” for institutional use of XRP.
- Ripple allegedly spent years building a regulated, scalable infrastructure for custody, treasury, and prime brokerage.
- Key acquisitions include GTreasury for $1 billion and Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, enhancing treasury management and brokerage services.
- Ripple Custody integrates bank-grade storage solutions with MPC security, supported by acquisitions like Palisade and Metaco.
- Van Code emphasizes the importance of regulated custody and reporting to meet institutional compliance requirements.
Vincent Van Code argues that Ripple has developed a comprehensive infrastructure enabling large institutions to adopt XRP without operational chaos. This includes regulated custody solutions and real-time cross-border payment rails on XRPL.
The integration of these components aims to shift XRP from speculative play to core financial infrastructure by making it viable for institutional use in compliance with existing workflows. (Source)
