Ripple to expand in Brazil with custody, payments, and brokerage services ahead of central bank approval push: Ripple

Ripple is expanding its services in Brazil by adding custody, payments, and brokerage tools for digital asset management and tokenization. The blockchain firm plans to apply for regulatory approval from Brazil's central bank to support these new offerings, marking a significant expansion of its presence in the Latin American market.

The move builds on Ripple's earlier partnership with Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's largest cryptocurrency exchange, which launched Ripple Payments as the first customer to utilize the firm's managed end-to-end payments solution. This expansion reflects Ripple's broader strategy to establish regulated operations across key markets while enabling faster and more efficient cross-border payment infrastructure.
