Ripple says it is making strategic investments in Zilo and Licuido as part of its push to expand tokenized capital markets on the XRP Ledger. According to Ripple, the planned partnerships are intended to add functions to its infrastructure, including regulated transfer agency, token issuance capabilities, and “collateral mobility.”
Cointelegraph reports that the investments are aimed at enabling the use of tokenized funds as collateral from the point of issuance. Taken together, both accounts describe a common objective: improving how tokenized assets move and are managed across issuance and subsequent use, including collateral arrangements.
The outlets do not provide detailed financial terms, timelines, or specific technical integration steps in the excerpts provided. However, they broadly align on the same direction of travel: Ripple is backing companies it says will help bring additional regulated and operational components to its tokenization efforts, with a focus on supporting collateral use within tokenized financial workflows.
