SBI Ripple Asia and Doppler Finance Partner to Explore XRP-Based Yield Infrastructure
Japan’s SBI Ripple Asia and Doppler Finance have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore collaboration on XRP-based yield infrastructure and tokenization of real-world assets on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The focus of the agreement is the development of a transparent returns infrastructure for institutional clients, which is intended to support the evolution of XRP from a payment-oriented asset to a return-producing financial instrument.
First XRPL Native Partnership for SBI Ripple Asia
The partnership represents a step forward for the XRP ecosystem as SBI Ripple Asia aligns directly with a protocol natively based on the XRPL. Doppler Finance, which operates an XRPfi infrastructure designed for regulated environments, will work with SBI Ripple Asia to explore use cases that combine traditional financial standards with decentralized ledger technology.
Institutional Custody and Regulatory Alignment
As part of the initiative, SBI Digital Markets, a digital assets firm regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), has been appointed as the institutional custodian. The agreement provides for separate and independent custody, which helps mitigate exchange-related risks and ensures assets are held in line with institutional security and governance requirements.
Doppler Expands Footprint in Japan’s Financial Ecosystem
This latest collaboration strengthens Doppler Finance’s presence in Japan, a strategically important market for digital asset innovation and regulation. The partnership with SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture founded by Ripple and SBI Holdings, expands Doppler’s positioning as a compliant and trusted yield infrastructure provider within the XRP ecosystem.
Bridging Traditional and On-Chain Finance
SBI Ripple Asia said the collaboration aims to accelerate the development of a secure and transparent yield infrastructure on the XRP ledger. By combining Doppler’s institutional framework with SBI Ripple Asia’s experience in launching digital assets in Japan and Asia, the partners see opportunities to expand the utility of XRP and connect traditional finance with emerging on-chain systems.
According to Rox Park, Head of Institutions at Doppler Finance, “Partnering with SBI Ripple Asia is an important validation of the trust and reliability we have built in the Doppler infrastructure. Together, we want to expand XRP’s role as a productive, return-producing asset while introducing institutional standards to the broader XRPL ecosystem.”
