Odaily News: Ripple and Brazil's licensed central securities depository CSD BR have brought Brazilian investment fund records onto the XRP Ledger in a regulated, real-world environment, with the first phase targeting BTG Pactual fund shares. CSD BR uses XRPL as an additional recording and auditing layer, while its own systems retain legal authority over ownership, registration, custody, and settlement, with over 22 trillion Brazilian reais in registered assets under its management. Fund shares are mapped according to the XRPL multi-purpose token standard, allowing authorized institutions to reconcile on-chain and official records in near real time; the two parties did not disclose the specific funds, scale, or trading volume.
CSD BR, Brazil's securities registration, custody and settlement institution, announced a strategic partnership with Ripple.

According to Business Wire, global index provider MarketVector and Coinbase Asset Management have jointly launched the Coinbase Store of Value Index (COINSOV). This rules-based index combines Bitcoin and gold, dynamically adjusting asset allocation ratios to respond to market volatility, with the aim of helping investors preserve purchasing power across different market cycles. COINSOV rebalances quarterly based on the inverse volatility of its constituent assets, seeking to capture Bitcoin’s upside potential while maintaining drawdown characteristics similar to those of gold. MarketVector’s research shows that, from 2017 to 2025, the index delivered superior risk-adjusted returns compared to traditional static allocations, with smaller drawdowns.
