Ripple Power Banks with compliant cryptography guard solutions
Ripple guard technology allows banks to offer secure and compliant crypto services while maintaining operational efficiency.
Francisco Maroto de BBVA, manager of digital assets, said that the partnership allows the bank to provide full experience in police custody directly to its customers using “proven and reliable technology”.
This is not the first time that Ripple has worked with BBVA. Companies have already teamed up in Switzerland and Turkey, and have previously collaborated on real -time cross -border payments.
“Now that EU markets in cryptocurrency regulation (Mica) are established across Europe, banks in the region are embraced to launch the digital asset offers that their customers are asking for,” Cassie Craddock, CEO of RIPPLE for Europe, said.
This decision follows broader trends across Europe, where large banks grow in digital assets after the deployment of mica.
In July, reports have surfaced that Deutsche Bank plans to launch cryptography childcare services for customers in 2025. Standard Chartered and Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody also advances cryptographic offers across Europe.
Last month, BBVA was also linked to Binance, serving as an independent goalkeeper for the clients of the exchange.
Ripple’s extended role with BBVA stresses how regulated financial institutions quickly integrate cryptography services, based on infrastructure partners to ensure compliance and scalability in a post-Mica environment.
