XRP News Today: VivoPower partners with Crypto.com for XRP-focused digital asset strategy

VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR) has entered into a strategic partnership with Crypto.com to support its growing digital asset treasury and mining operations. The agreement spans custodial services for VivoPower’s digital holdings and its mining activities through Caret, a subsidiary of the company. This move marks a significant milestone in VivoPower’s strategic shift toward becoming an XRP-focused digital asset enterprise [1].

Under the partnership, Crypto.com Custody will provide institutional-grade custody services across multiple international jurisdictions. The platform offers enhanced security and scalability, crucial for managing substantial cryptocurrency reserves. By leveraging Crypto.com’s infrastructure, VivoPower aims to ensure the safe and efficient management of its digital assets, which are central to its evolving business model [2].

Beyond custody, the collaboration also enhances access to VivoPower’s equity. VVPR shares will now be available to Crypto.com’s reported 150 million users, expanding the company’s liquidity and potentially attracting a broader shareholder base. This integration allows traditional investors and crypto-native users to engage with VVPR through a single, familiar platform, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem [3].

The partnership reinforces VivoPower’s XRP-centric strategy, offering shareholders liquidity for XRP and other digital assets. It also provides opportunities for participation in XRP restaking through Flare, a platform with which VivoPower already has a working relationship. This alignment with a well-established crypto platform adds credibility and strategic value, positioning VivoPower as a forward-thinking entity in the blockchain space [4].

Crypto.com’s role in the partnership underscores the increasing importance of crypto infrastructure providers in supporting traditional financial institutions and publicly traded companies exploring digital assets. The collaboration is expected to enhance operational efficiency and security while expanding access to a broader crypto ecosystem [5].

The announcement follows VivoPower’s recent acquisition of a $100 million stake in Ripple, made possible after regulatory clarity from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This acquisition represents another step in the company’s broader strategy to position itself as a leading player in the digital asset sector [4].

As part of its digital asset diversification efforts, VivoPower has also explored the use of RLUSD, a stablecoin collateralized by real estate, further broadening its exposure to blockchain-based financial instruments. The partnership with Crypto.com is the latest in a series of strategic moves aimed at leveraging digital assets as part of the company’s treasury management [5].
