Ripple Custody provides software for secure storage, management, and access to cryptos.
XRPUSD H1 chart trades between two horizontal levels; next breakout crucial for intraday direction.
Institutional crypto storage firm BDACS will use Ripple
Custody to secure XRP and RLUSD. RLUSD is a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by
Ripple. The partnership targets institutional clients seeking secure storage
for digital assets.
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart shows the price trading
between two horizontal levels, with the next breakout set to be crucial for
determining its direction on the intraday charts.
Ripple Custody Enhances Crypto Storage Solutions
Ripple Custody provides software infrastructure for crypto
custodians, exchanges, and financial institutions. The service allows
businesses to store, manage, and access cryptocurrencies through a system
designed to meet regulatory and security requirements. The custody solution
supports features like multi-signature wallets and transaction controls.
Leveraging Busan’s Blockchain-Friendly Economic Zone
The collaboration aims to strengthen Ripple’s ecosystem and
increase RLUSD adoption. It also seeks to leverage Busan’s blockchain-friendly
economic zone in South Korea, where authorities are promoting digital asset
projects.
Ripple recently said the XRP Ledger network will introduce
more compliance functions and lending features. The network already supports
clawback functions, which allow issuers to reclaim tokens linked to illicit
activity, and decentralized identity tests designed to enhance user
verification.

XRPUSD Consolidates Between 2.32300 and 2.16000
The XRPUSD H1 chart shows the price caught between the
levels of 2.32300 and 2.16000, with both levels acting as key determining
factors for intraday price action. A breakout above 2.32300 could push the
price higher, signaling a potential upside move.
Conversely, a bearish breakout below 2.16000 may extend the
downside momentum that has been observed over the past few days. These levels
are crucial in determining the next direction for XRPUSD on the intraday
charts.
Ripple Expands Its Position with New Alliances and
Developments
Ripple also garnered attention when CEO Garlinghouse and
Chief Legal Officer Alderoty attended
a private dinner with President-elect Donald Trump on January 6. This
sparked speculation about Ripple's ongoing legal case with the US Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), which filed a lawsuit in December 2020 alleging
that Ripple sold XRP tokens as unregistered securities.
Investor activity in XRP has been notable, with whales
acquiring 520
million tokens during a recent price dip, indicating continued interest.
Furthermore, the SEC's reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro, who oversaw Ripple's
case, has raised questions regarding the agency's future stance on crypto
litigation.
Ripple has also made progress in Japan, with expectations
that banks
will adopt the XRP Ledger by 2025, a move aimed at improving cross-border
payments and currency conversions for remittances.
In the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, Ripple
has partnered with Chainlink to integrate its RLUSD stablecoin into DeFi
applications on the Ethereum blockchain for trading and lending.
The debate surrounding XRP's inclusion in a US crypto
reserve continues, with centralization concerns complicating the conversation.
In response, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David
Schwartz, has defended the decentralization of the XRP Ledger, highlighting
its resilience against manipulation.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.
