Ripple Labs has filed a trademark
application for the word mark “Ripple Custody,” indicating that
the company behind the XRP (XRP) token is considering expanding its brand in the
crypto custody space.
The filing notes four use cases for the word mark, including one
that reads “Financial services, namely, custodial services in the
nature of maintaining storage and possession of cryptocurrency […]
for financial management purposes.”
Crypto custodians store and manage digital assets for
individuals and institutions, aiming to minimize risks such as
private key loss and security breaches. The demand for custody
services has grown significantly in recent years, especially
following the approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US in
2024. Major players in this space include Coinbase, Citi and BNY
Mellon, among others.

Trademarks
The trademark filing follows Ripple’s launch of its
custody service in October 2024. At the time, the company said
the move sought to diversify its revenue streams beyond its payment
settlement service.
A Ripple spokesperson declined to comment on the trademark
filing.
Will Ripple launch a crypto wallet?
Another use case listed in the trademark filing reads,
“downloadable software for custody of cryptocurrency, fiat
currency, virtual currency, and digital currency; downloadable
software for transmission and storage of cryptocurrency, fiat
currency, virtual currency, and digital currency.”
The use case may indicate that Ripple could be planning to
launch a cryptocurrency
wallet, either to support its native token, XRP, or a wider
variety of digital assets. Currently, the company does not offer a
crypto wallet. The wallet services offering would provide another
revenue stream to Ripple by collecting transaction fees.
Companies already offering support for XRP and other
cryptocurrencies include Ledger and Trezor
hardware wallets, Trust Wallet,
Exodus and
many others.
