Ripple and Metaco, two companies driving the adoption of the XRPL (XRP Ledger), are joining forces to offer tokenization and digital custody solutions to global banks. The recent appointment of Adrien Treccani, former CEO of Metaco, as Senior Vice President of Product at Ripple suggests a possible evolution in the operational strategy between the two companies.
While Ripple acquired Metaco for $250 million, it was initially stated that both companies would operate independently. However, Treccani’s new position has sparked speculation about the increasingly close relationship between Ripple and Metaco. This integration could potentially impact the institutional adoption of Metaco’s custody and blockchain solutions and divert Ripple’s attention away from its core payment network that uses XRP.
Treccani highlights the advantages of XRPL in the blockchain tokenization space, including scalability, native support for tokenized assets, and blockchain trading capabilities with other exchanges or automated market makers. The merger of Ripple and Metaco creates a comprehensive combination of infrastructure and services, allowing them to offer banks complete solutions for tokenization, payment primitives, and liquidity management.
The trend toward tokenization in large banks, with entities like HSBC joining in, necessitates robust digital asset custody technology. Ripple is expected to provide further details on its operating policies regarding Metaco and future acquisitions. The impact of these operational and strategic changes on Ripple and the XRP community remains to be seen.
