About 74% of respondents said stablecoins can boost cash-flow efficiency and unlock trapped working capital, showing that many firms now view them as tools for treasury and liquidity management, not only payments.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The report linked that demand to wider market growth. Ripple noted that the stablecoin market cap moved above $300 billion in early March, as adoption expanded across payments, trading, and business settlement.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tokenization shifts to infrastructure needs<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>The survey also showed rising interest in tokenization. Among banks and asset managers looking at tokenization partners, 89% said custody and secure storage were a main priority. Banks ranked token lifecycle management at 82%, while asset managers placed primary distribution at 80%.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple said the results show that many firms are now focused on the systems needed to support digital assets. \u201c<em>The key takeaway here is that finance leaders want more from the crypto companies offering these solutions,<\/em>\u201d the company wrote, adding that institutions want a provider that can support current and future needs.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, security ranked as the top factor in partner selection. Ripple said 97% of respondents viewed certifications such as ISO and SOC II as important or very important. Post-integration technical support followed at 88%, while industry experience and financial strength also ranked highly.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also found that many firms prefer one provider for several digital asset services. Ripple said 71% of corporates favor a one-stop-shop model, while slightly more than half of fintechs and financial institutions do the same.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ripple expands as adoption grows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The findings match broader adoption trends, where firms are moving from early testing to live digital asset plans. Ripple said,\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMost finance leaders aren\u2019t debating digital assets anymore. They\u2019re figuring out how to build with them and who to build with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As previously reported by Crypto News, that shift also comes as Ripple expands in Latin America. The company recently said it plans to apply for a VASP license in Brazil, adding to its push in payments and tokenization in the region.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
