- Ripple expands institutional custody with Palisade’s MPC wallet integration.
- Over $4B invested in 2025 through major acquisitions including Hidden Road and GTreasury.
- Palisade enhances Ripple’s regulated custody across XRP, Solana, and Ethereum networks.
Ripple has expanded its custody and wallet infrastructure through the acquisition of Palisade, a firm specializing in institutional-grade digital asset storage and multi-party computation (MPC) wallet technology. The move adds to Ripple’s growing list of purchases this year, signaling its focus on building a full-service infrastructure for institutional clients across fintech, crypto-native, and corporate sectors.
The company stated that the deal will enhance its “custody capabilities” for organizations requiring secure and scalable digital asset management solutions. Palisade’s technology stack includes a flexible API for the rapid integration of MPC wallet systems, designed to support enterprises managing digital assets in real-time. The acquisition terms were not disclosed.
$4 Billion Deployed Through Acquisitions and Investments
Ripple reported investing approximately $4 billion into the crypto ecosystem in 2025 through a mix of mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments. Earlier this year, it completed several large deals, including the $1.25 billion purchase of prime brokerage Hidden Road in April and a $200 million acquisition of stablecoin platform Rail.
In October, Ripple also bought GTreasury, a treasury management platform, for $1 billion. That acquisition marked the company’s entry into the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market, allowing it to target major corporations with integrated liquidity and payment tools.
Integration With XRP, Solana, and Ethereum Networks
Ripple stated that Palisade’s systems are “deeply integrated” with the XRP, Solana, and Ethereum blockchains, broadening its asset coverage across multiple ecosystems. The company noted that combining Ripple’s “bank-grade vault” infrastructure with Palisade’s wallet capabilities creates an end-to-end custody solution for institutions seeking both long-term asset storage and real-time transaction support.
According to Ripple President Monica Long, the expansion aligns with rising corporate adoption of digital assets for payments and treasury operations. Long described the integration as positioning Ripple to serve institutions through comprehensive solutions ranging from global payments to asset management.
Ripple emphasized that Palisade Custody operates as a fully regulated storage provider, complementing the firm’s existing infrastructure. By acquiring Palisade, Ripple continues to consolidate its position in the institutional crypto services market, adding secure custody, settlement, and treasury functionality under one framework.
