The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has approved Coinbase’s custodian service on Oct. 23, the regulator’s recent announcement states. The San Francisco-based startup will offer custody for six digital assets, including XRP that is currently not listed on its exchange.

However, many big-name companies in the likes of Northern Trust and Goldman Sachs are already exploring custodian services.
