Ripple invests in Zilo and Licuido to assist tokenized capital markets push

Ripple has made a strategic investment move by putting money behind blockchain infrastructure companies Zilo and Licuido. The purpose of these investments is to enable the use of tokenized funds as collateral from issuance onward, Ripple reported on Wednesday.

This expansion into the corporate bond market comes after growing demand for digital asset custody solutions across the industry globally. By backing specialized platforms like Zilio Markets, which serves institutional clients seeking blockchain-enabled services, Ripple strengthens its position in enabling seamless conversion between conventional and tokenized assets.
