Further details show that Ripple's latest partner, Absa Digital Asset Custody, is a digital-first offering built to meet the same standards applied to traditional financial assets.


With its design, the company is focused on addressing risks associated with digital asset custody, including security exposure, governance challenges, and regulatory complexity.


Following the partnership, it will integrate Ripple Custody technology into its resources to exclusively allow institutions to maintain greater control over their digital assets.


In addition to this, they will also gain exclusive control over their transactions and approval processes while benefiting from Absa's banking infrastructure and regulatory compliance.
