<p>On Wednesday San Francisco-based blockchain firm Ripple announced the acquisition of Switzerland-based crypto custodial solutions provider Metaco in a major $250 million acquisition deal. Amid growing institutional participation in crypto, Ripple expects the custodial market to hit $10 trillion by 2030.</p>
<p>As we know, institutional players are looking for strong and regulated custodial solutions to safeguard their crypto. Ripple spokesperson said that the Metaco acquisition took place through a combination of cash and Ripple equity. The deal will help Ripple to expand its footprint quickly into the European market while giving access to top clients such as Citi and BNP Paribas.</p>
<p>Apart from facilitating storage and management of crypto assets, Metaco&#8217;s acquisition will allow Ripple to offer institutional clients additional services such as custody, issue, and settlement of tokenized assets. Also, Ripple&#8217;s established base of customers and resources will help accelerate Metaco&#8217;s growth.</p>
<p>Both the players &#8211; Ripple and Metaco &#8211; have a long history of working with regulated entities and offering enterprise-grade solutions to customers. Speaking on the development, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Metaco is a proven leader in institutional digital asset custody with an exceptional executive bench and a truly unmatched customer track record . Through the strength of our balance sheet and financial position, Ripple will continue pressing our advantage in the areas critical to crypto infrastructure. Bringing on Metaco is monumental for our growing product suite and expanding global footprint.</p></blockquote>
