Ripple expands BNY custody deal, brings C2FO trade finance to XRP Ledger

Ripple has expanded its partnership with BNY to support institutional custody of XRP and RLUSD while advancing tokenized trade finance on the XRP Ledger through a separate collaboration with working-capital platform C2FO. BNY now supports XRP and RLUSD through its institutional digital asset custody platform. Ripple and BNY are exploring direct RLUSD minting, redemption and tokenized trade finance. C2FO plans to use XRPL and RLUSD to settle financing against approved invoices. The proposed settlement service targets delays that can leave suppliers waiting days for funds.
