South African bank Absa has launched Absa Digital Asset Custody, powered by Ripple's custody technology, marking a first for Africa's institutional digital asset management. The service offers a secure, regulated environment for safeguarding digital assets, targeting institutional clients amid growing crypto adoption in South Africa. This launch follows an 11-month partnership development and aligns with South Africa's evolving crypto regulations and increasing investor interest. Absa has yet to disclose specific assets or fees but aims to fill a gap as most local crypto investors currently use exchanges rather than banks.
