BNY Holds $63 Trillion for Clients and Will Now Custody XRP. What If 0.1% of That Went Into XRP?

BNY Mellon (BK) and Ripple have expanded their partnership to include custody services for XRP (XRP) and Ripple USD (RLUSD), with BNY managing $63.4 trillion in assets. XRP's price is $1.32, up 2.3% in 24 hours. BNY's Q3 2026 revenue was $5.68 billion, with fees up 12% YoY. The deal does not guarantee increased demand for XRP, as custody services do not require clients to purchase the cryptocurrency.
