- Los desarrolladores de la firma esperan que la industria de custodia de activos digitales crezca a $10 billones para 2030.
- Ripple también espera que las principales instituciones y empresas financieras integren las criptomonedas en los próximos tres años.
- “Bringing on Metaco is monumental for our growing product suite and expanding global footprint,” said CEO Garlinghouse.
Ripple, a blockchain-based payments settlement company that rose in popularity due to its efficient On Demand Liquidity, or ODL, solution, has announced the acquisition of Metaco, a Switzerland-based company that provides “mission-critical custody infrastructure” and allows institutions to thrive in the digital assets industry. Metaco was founded in 2015 by Adrien Treccani, who is responsible for setting the strategy and direction of the blockchain company.
Según un anuncio El 17 de mayo, la firma detrás del token XRP, la sexta criptomoneda más grande por capitalización de mercado, anunció la adquisición de Metaco por un precio de $250 millones. Es importante señalar aquí que Ripple planea expandir sus ofertas y brindar custodia, emisión y liquidación de activos tokenizados.
The developers at Ripple wrote that, as per recent research conducted by the firm, “most global finance leaders at financial institutions and enterprises have plans to use crypto custody solutions in their businesses within the next three years—primarily through a third party provider.”
The CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, noted that “Metaco is a proven leader in institutional digital asset custody with an exceptional executive bench and a truly unmatched customer track record,” while adding:
“Through the strength of our balance sheet and financial position, Ripple will continue pressing our advantage in the areas critical to crypto infrastructure. Bringing on Metaco is monumental for our growing product suite and expanding global footprint.”
On the other hand, the developers at the payments firm added that the acquisition of Metaco will “dramatically accelerate its growth trajectory through access to Ripple’s established base of hundreds of customers, capital to address new demand, and resources to continue delivering on its commitment to banking and institutional clients.”
As per the announcement, the firm estimates that by 2030, the crypto custody industry will reach a valuation of $10 trillion. Talking about the involvement of institutions in the crypto sector, Ripple gave examples of BNY Mellon’s crypto-custody management plans, followed by Nasdaq’s plan to debut a crypto custody solution in the second quarter of 2023.
“This deal will enable Metaco to leverage Ripple’s scale and market strength to reach our goals and deliver value to our clients at a faster pace. We look forward to continuing to serve unprecedented levels of institutional demand with the utmost excellence in delivery, as our clients have come to expect, the founder and CEO of Metaco, Treccani, commented.
It is also crucial to note that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States’ request to seal the Hinman Speech Documents was negado por la jueza Analisa Torres el 16 de mayo en el caso Ripple vs. SEC, y estos documentos se harán públicos en el caso Ripple vs. SEC, según un informe anterior de Bitnation. Esto fue declarado una gran victoria para la transparencia por parte de Garlinghouse.
The motion from the SEC to seal the documents has been dismissed. The agency believes that the Hinman Speech Documents have “no relevance” in the Ripple vs. SEC case, which has been going on for quite a number of years.
On the other hand, the judge also denied certain motions asking for the sealing of certain documents from Ripple, including references linking the company’s revenues with sales of the XRP token and the amount of compensation offered to trading platforms, etc.
