Bitget Wallet has partnered with MoonPay to launch a new fiat withdrawal feature that allows users to convert stablecoins directly into cash. Through MoonPay, Bitget Wallet users can now sell USDT and USDC for more than 25 major fiat currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, AUD, HKD and more, without relying on centralized exchanges. The launch also introduces fiat withdrawal functionality to Bitget Wallet for the first time. Accessible via Bitget Wallet’s “Sell Crypto” page, users in eligible countries can select their token and preferred fiat currency before completing the transaction via MoonPay’s platform. As part of the process, users complete identity verification (KYC) and select their withdrawal method through MoonPay, which facilitates crypto-to-fiat conversion and fund settlement. Supported payout options include Apple Pay and debit or credit cards via Visa and Mastercard. Once approved, funds are deposited directly to the selected payment method. All transactions undergo identity verification and AML checks, with most fiat withdrawals processed within minutes depending on the payment method. Users can monitor their transactions directly within Bitget Wallet and receive real-time updates via email. Users can buy crypto directly in Bitget Wallet, and spend their crypto through the in-app Shop section, crypto card, and QR code-based Pay feature. For those preferring to convert crypto back into fiat, the new sell feature enables direct withdrawals to supported payment methods.
Custody platforms are emerging as the core infrastructure for governing token operations through programmable rules, multi-layer approvals, role-based access, and integration-ready APIs for institutions navigating hybrid environments
Custody is the core infrastructure layer that makes institutional participation in digital assets not just possible but profitable. Modern custody platforms serve as critical mission-control layers, orchestrating transaction workflows, enforcing policy, supporting compliance and enabling the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) at scale. Ripple Custody is built for this new paradigm, enabling institutions, fintechs, and crypto businesses to govern token operations through programmable rules, multi-layer approvals, role-based access, and integration-ready APIs. Security is table stakes with Ripple’s system being ISO 27001-certified, SOC 2 audited, and supporting the most rigorous key management architectures on the market. However, its flexibility sets it apart, as it supports a range of deployment options, including on-prem, SaaS, or a hybrid of the two. This allows financial institutions to align custody models with internal policy, client demands, and jurisdictional requirements. The market for real-world asset tokenization is accelerating fast, with forecasts projecting the tokenized RWA market will grow from $0.6 trillion in 2025 to nearly $19 trillion by 2033. Ripple Custody is built with this reality in mind, enabling institutions to define multi-party approval flows, enforce transaction policies down to asset, role, and time-based rules, and lock in governance frameworks that reduce the risk of social engineering, collusion, and unapproved access. Bridging TradFi and Web3, Ripple Custody bridges both crypto-native and TradFi-oriented platforms. With over a decade of experience operating across crypto markets and institutional finance, Ripple brings a dual advantage: a deep understanding of blockchain infrastructure and a real fluency in bank-grade systems. Custody enables what comes next, as institutions move from tokenization theory to practice. It’s not about picking a vault; it’s about selecting a partner that can evolve with your business as strategies mature. Ripple Custody offers institutions a platform, not a black box, and strategic enablement. Custody systems must now support: Tokenized securities and bonds, with customizable workflows and strict governance; Money Market Funds and private credit, which demand real-time settlement, role-based access and policy-based controls; Stablecoins, with over $215 billion in circulation as of mid-2025, and growing relevance in cross-border treasury flows.

JPMorgan Chase says tokenization of shares of money market funds could help keep money market funds competitive with stablecoins and expand their utility beyond a cash management asset class to being used as collateral opening up more seamless transferability
The tokenization of shares of money market funds could help keep money market funds competitive with stablecoins while also creating new uses for them, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists. The strategists said this in a note to clients, commenting on a partnership between Goldman Sachs and the BNY to collaborate on that tokenization. “The true takeaway from this is beyond the typical way we see money funds being used as a cash management asset class — they can now use it as collateral,” said Teresa Ho at JPMorgan. “Instead of posting cash or posting Treasuries, you can post money market shares and not lose interest along the way. It speaks to the versatility of money funds.” Goldman Sachs and BNY announced their collaboration, saying their tokenization project will see BNY use Goldman Sachs’ blockchain technology to maintain a record of customers’ ownership of select money market funds. The project is “a significant step towards enhancing the utility and transferability of existing [money market fund] shares.” Laide Majiyagbe, global head of liquidity, financing and collateral at BNY, said that the companies’ planned “mirrored tokenization of [money market fund] shares” is a first step in the financial system’s transition toward “a more digital, real-time architecture.” Mathew McDermott, global head of digital assets at Goldman Sachs, said that the project “would enable us to unlock their utility as a form of collateral and open up more seamless transferability in the future.”

Health-tech platform Wellgistics Health to use XRPL to process real-time, B2B payments among pharmacies, manufacturers, and vendors; purchase additional XRP and deploy the holdings as collateral to secure financing, and as a source of income generation
Wellgistics Health has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC detailing a plan to integrate XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) across its payments and treasury operations. The health-tech company said it will use XRPL to process real-time, low-cost business-to-business payments among pharmacies, manufacturers, and vendors and expand its XRP holdings. The company may raise capital through equity and debt offerings to purchase additional XRP, deploy those holdings to generate income, and use the asset as collateral for future financing. The S-1 positions XRP as an active balance sheet instrument. Wellgistics intends to accumulate XRP and apply it to several functions: as a payments rail, as collateral to secure financing, and as a source of income generation. The company indicated that treating XRP as collateral could provide liquidity without disrupting operations. It also outlined plans to raise capital specifically for digital asset acquisition, signaling that future issuances of equity or debt may be tied to enlarging its XRP position. Wellgistics will implement XRPL to support near-instant settlement and reduced fees for business partners. The company identified a network of approximately 6,000 pharmacies and 150 manufacturers that will interface with the XRPL-based system. The stated objective is to streamline value transfer and improve liquidity across that ecosystem by avoiding the delays and costs present in traditional payment systems. Beyond the LDA arrangement, the S-1 states that Wellgistics may pursue additional equity and debt offerings to finance XRP purchases and related infrastructure. Additionally, the S-1 includes risk disclosures tied to XRP’s regulatory status and ongoing litigation. Wellgistics warned that adverse legal or regulatory outcomes could affect XRP’s price and, as a result, the value of the company’s treasury assets and collateral.
