Ripple Partner Archax takes over the service provider German Digital Assets
- Ripple wins the ground in the EU via Archax, and the existing Bafin licenses lead to a solid surgical basis.
- Especially the XRP Ledger is likely to benefit because the Ripple partners can acquire customers through expanded regulated access.
With the takeover of the asset manager DDA (German Digital Assets), the British company Archax took its next big step to continental Europe with an assets of around $ 70 million. Archax had already taken over the Spanish broker KSCM in 2024.
Archax offers the takeover direct access to one of the largest regulated European cryptoma markets. The DDA approved by BaFin enables Archax to maintain permits for advice, sales, portfolio management and the contract broker business in the EU.
With the current development, Archax offers regulated services for digital assets in Great Britain and the EU, including tokenized securities, active crypto strategies for investment purposes and stock market-related products (ETPS).

As a crypto ETP provider with a broad institutional network, the role of DDA complements Archax’s range of services. DDA has connections to numerous banks and asset managers in continental Europe, especially in Germany, France and Switzerland – markets that are among the most regulated in this area. These connections offer new sales options for tokenized investment products from Archax.

The XRP Ledger from Ripple will be particularly expected to benefit from the takeover. Analyst WrathofKahneman Looks like this:
“Ripple and Archax teamed up last year to bring tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAS) worth 100 million euros in XRPL. Today Archax has taken over the DDA company and thus expanded its regulated presence in Germany.”
With the additional portfolio and the permits from DDA, this partnership is now further gaining in size. Archax is uniquely positioned to distribute digital asset products in institutional quality via regulated stock exchanges and to offer investors throughout Europe a more robust infrastructure.
Since the British financial supervisory authority (Financial Conduct Authority) approved the listing of crypto ETPs in early 2025, the timing favors the further expansion strategy of Archax. Maximilian Lautenschläger, Managing Partner at DDA, explained:
“We have known the Archax team for several years and have always seen how complementary our strengths are. Entry to the Archax family creates incredible synergy effects: We offer comprehensive access to institutional investors in Germany, France and Switzerland, who are actively looking for token products.”
XRPL is gaining in importance in the EU due to the expansion of archax
Graham Rodford, CEO von Archax, added that the step supports the company’s wider plans:
“Archax is an ambitious company, and we believe that our regulatory structure is on the way to become one of the most extensive in the digital-asset industry and the takeover of DDA promotes this goal.”
Archax has acquired the call to bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and digital assets. Archax was founded by conventional capital markets experts and supports both regulated tokenized token assets and native cryptocurrencies.
By combining its regulated activities in Great Britain and the EU with the Ripple blockchain network, the group is able to lead more capital in XRPL.
The takeover by Archax is not only progress for your own goals, but will also increase the growing institutional demand for blockchain-based systems. XRPL should benefit from it, especially if new digital products find their way there through trustworthy providers in the EU.
