Ripple Bolsters Institutional Blockchain Strategy with ZILO and Licuido Investments

Ripple has expanded its institutional blockchain strategy with strategic investments in UK-based transfer agency technology provider ZILO and FCA-regulated tokenization platform Licuido.

The move builds on existing partnerships with both firms and reflects Ripple's broader strategy to modernize traditional capital markets through blockchain technology.

Ripple's Senior Vice President of Trading and Markets, Nigel Khakoo, referred to tokenization as moving into a new chapter where true value is created through the trading, settling, financing, and use of digital assets as collateral and not just parking those assets on the blockchain.

The investments will add regulated transfer agency, digital asset issuance, and collateral mobility capabilities to the XRP Ledger (XRPL), strengthening Ripple's infrastructure for tokenized financial assets.
