Ripple, SettleMint Team Up Amid 'Surprisingly Resilient' XRP ETF Flows

Ripple teamed up with SettleMint Tuesday to simplify digital asset custody and tokenization for banks across Asia Pacific, as XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) ETF inflows hit $1.8 billion.

What the Ripple and SettleMint Partnership Covers

According to a joint press release Tuesday, the partnership connects Ripple Custody with SettleMint’s Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, giving banks and fintechs one system to issue, manage, and operate tokenized assets from start to finish. 

Previously, institutions had to piece together separate vendors for custody, issuance, compliance, and servicing. Now all of that runs through a single integrated solution.

“This partnership gives them the foundation to roll out digital assets and future-proof them from there,” said Fiona Murray, Ripple’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific. 

The two companies have already started offering the combined solution in Asia and plan to expand to other markets as demand grows.

The partnership arrives as a Boston Consulting Group report from May 2026 projected tokenized real-world assets could reach $88 trillion by 2035, warning that banks failing to adapt face a potential 30% profit reduction over the same period.
