After a protracted legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple’s aggressive expansion strategy was interpreted as a decisive bid to regain lost momentum. Pro-XRP lawyer John E Deaton, a famous figure in the XRP community, commented in X: “I agree with Chamath [Palihapitiya]. I also think Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition to hide the road is the best example of the convergence of Tradfi and Defi in the entire cryptocurrency. ”
Ripple rebound after the SEC war
Hidden Road, a major brokerage firm that handles more than $3 trillion in processing per year among more than 300 institutional clients, is now integrating XRP Ledger (XRPL) for post-trade settlement processes. This integration is expected to result in a fundamental compression of settlement time, reducing the traditional 24-hour window to 3-5 seconds. The recently launched RLUSD Stablecoin will act as collateral in the system, effectively converging digital assets with traditional finance (TradFI) infrastructure.
Deaton highlighted the importance of this move, explaining that the acquisition “integrates blockchain infrastructure into institutional transactions, blends Defi’s efficiency with TradFI’s scale and customer base, positioning Ripple as a leading pioneer in institutional Fefi.”
The strategic importance of custody services is also largely distinctive in the postal roadmap. Deaton noted that Ripple extended it to custody solutions, especially through the acquisition of Metaco and Standard custody – was intentional. “There is a very specific reason that Ripple now offers ‘Ripple Hosting’,” he noted. “By offering custody with payments and Stablecoin solutions, Ripple becomes a one-stop shop for financial institutions that integrate blockchain technology.”
The basis of market forecasting is the decision to prioritize custody. According to the Boston Consulting Group, the digital asset custody market is expected to exceed $16 trillion in assets by 2030. Deaton said the prediction may have inspired rapid action in the field.
According to Deaton, the company’s broader vision seems to be aimed at building XRP Ledger as the underlying platform for tokenized services. Attorneys outlined that Ripple is positioning to provide tokenized services that enable banks to impose traditional assets such as stocks, bonds and real estate. RLUSD stable bacteria are expected to play a central role in facilitating these token trading on XRPL.
“It is obvious that Ripple aims to leverage its custody infrastructure to implement tokens, as a service, enabling banks to play XRLPL on XRPL with traditional assets such as stocks, bonds or real estate, playing an important role in supporting these transactions, thus playing Xrpl in supporting these transactions as a global hub for tokekenized tokenized bokenized bokenized bokenized botenized d.deatniped d.Deatniped nibnized nibnized nibnized d.Deathimized.
Deaton summed up the broader implications of Ripple’s recent activity, “For me, Brad Garlinghouse is making up for lost time after being slowed by the SEC lawsuit.”
At press time, XRP was trading at $2.31.
