Ripple Applies for Custody and Wallet Trademark, Expanding Crypto Custody Business

8 hours ago

On March 18th, Ripple Labs submitted a trademark application for "Ripple Custody." As per the application documents, this trademark encompasses financial services such as the storage and management of cryptographic assets to fulfill financial management requirements. This trademark application comes shortly after Ripple launched custody services in October 2024, indicating that the company is aiming to expand its revenue sources beyond payment settlement. Furthermore, the trademark application also mentions "downloadable cryptocurrency, fiat currency, virtual currency, and digital currency custody, transfer, and storage software," which may imply that Ripple is contemplating launching an official cryptocurrency wallet. Currently, the company has not offered official wallet services. However, if launched, this product may support XRP and other digital assets, creating a new revenue stream through transaction fees. A spokesperson for Ripple declined to comment on the trademark application.
