Ripple Invests in Regulated Fintech Firms to Bolster XRP Ledger

Ripple has made strategic investments in ZILO and Licuido to bring regulated services to the XRP Ledger.

The move signals Ripple's continued focus on expanding the ledger's utility beyond payments into institutional-grade asset management and collateral operations.

ZILO specializes in transfer agency services, which are essential for managing shareholder records and facilitating compliance in securities issuance. Licuido focuses on asset issuance and collateral movement, enabling more efficient use of digital assets in lending and trading.

By backing these companies, Ripple aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, offering regulated on-chain solutions to institutional clients.
