The trademark also mentions software for crypto custody and transactions, hinting at a potential wallet launch.
Ripple launched its custody service in October 2024 as part of its strategy to expand beyond payments.
Ripple Labs has filed a trademark application for the word
mark “Ripple Custody.” The filing suggests that the company behind
XRP may be looking to expand into the crypto custody sector, Cointelegraph
reported.
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart indicates that the
cryptocurrency is trading between two horizontal levels. At the moment, the
support level remains intact, and intraday buyers may attempt to drive the
price toward the resistance.
Ripple Considers Crypto Custody Amid ETF Growth
The trademark application lists four potential use cases.
One of them states: “Financial services, namely, custodial services in the
nature of maintaining storage and possession of cryptocurrency […] for
financial management purposes.”
Crypto custody services help individuals and institutions
store and manage digital assets. These services aim to reduce risks such as
private key loss and security breaches. The demand for custody solutions has
increased, particularly after the approval of US-based exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) in 2024. Companies in this space include Coinbase, Citi, and BNY Mellon.
Ripple introduced its custody service in October 2024. The
company said at the time that the move was part of a strategy to generate
revenue beyond its payment settlement operations. A Ripple spokesperson
declined to comment on the trademark filing.
Possible Crypto Wallet Development
The filing also references software related to custody
services. One section describes “downloadable software for custody of
cryptocurrency, fiat currency, virtual currency, and digital currency." It
also includes software for the “transmission and storage” of these
assets.
This wording suggests that Ripple may be considering a
cryptocurrency wallet. Such a product could support XRP or a broader range of
digital assets. The company does not currently offer a wallet. If introduced,
it could provide a new revenue stream through transaction fees. Other companies already supporting XRP include Ledger,
Trezor, Trust Wallet, and Exodus.

XRP Holds Support After Brief Breach
The XRPUSD H1 chart shows the price moving within the
2.37350–2.27000 range. After facing rejection at the 2.37350 resistance for the
third time, the price dropped toward the support.
It briefly breached the 2.27000 support level, but the next
candle quickly recovered above it. As a result, this is not considered a
breakout, which may encourage buyers to push the price higher.
Ripple’s XRP Adoption Grows Amid Regulatory and
Investment Moves
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, recently
discussed the
role of cryptocurrencies in the US strategic reserves following an
executive order by President Trump. This order listed Bitcoin and several
altcoins, including Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. In an interview with
Fox Business, Saylor addressed the regulation of digital assets and proposed
that XRP should be issued within a regulatory framework.
Ripple's Custody service will be used by South
Korea’s BDACS to secure XRP and RLUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the dollar,
aimed at providing secure storage for institutional clients. Additionally,
Ripple donated $100,000 in XRP to support California wildfire victims, with
contributions to organizations like World Central Kitchen and GiveDirectly
through The Giving Block.
In Japan, Ripple anticipates the adoption of XRP Ledger by
banks by 2025 to enhance cross-border payments. The company is also working
with Chainlink to integrate RLUSD into Ethereum-based decentralized finance
(DeFi) applications. Meanwhile, investor interest in XRP remains strong, with large
investors acquiring 520 million tokens during a recent dip. The SEC’s
reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro has raised questions about the agency's future
stance on cryptocurrency litigation.

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.
