Ripple Partners with Absa Bank to Expand Digital Asset Custody in Africa
The crypto asset firm Ripple just announced a strategic partnership with a bank in South Africa.
Ripple says it’s teaming up with Absa Bank to deliver institutional-grade digital asset custody services.
This marks Ripple’s first major custody collaboration on the continent, enabling Absa to offer secure storage for crypto and tokenized assets amid rising institutional demand.
The partnership leverages Ripple’s scalable technology to meet regulatory and security standards, supporting Absa’s customers in exploring blockchain-based solutions.
