Ripple acquired Standard Custody &amp; Trust Company and already had connections with the custody firm through its executives, according to a<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240213022752/en/Ripple-Announces-Acquisition-of-Standard-Custody-Trust-Company-Expands-Its-Portfolio-of-Regulatory-Licenses" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> statement</a> from the blockchain payments firm.
Standard Custody &amp; Trust Company, operating under a charter granted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, provides custody and escrow services.
