DWP Leadership Secures $200 Million Worth of In-Kind Contributions in XRP
In a significant move for the digital asset industry, Digital Wealth Partners Management (DWP Management) has shifted its capital raising strategy to accept contributions exclusively in Ripple's cryptocurrency, XRP. Since April 2025, the organisation has raised approximately $200 million across various fund strategies, all in XRP, marking a strong endorsement from institutional investors [1][2][3].
This strategic change is indicative of a broader evolution in the crypto sector, facilitated by the legal clarity following Ripple's recent settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). DWP Management offers private investment vehicles that accept direct XRP contributions under institutional-grade custody and compliance frameworks. This innovative approach allows accredited investors to contribute digital assets directly, bypassing traditional fund constraints and enabling more flexible, crypto-native allocations [1][4].
The settlement between Ripple and the SEC has also paved the way for the integration of digital assets into modern portfolios. The integration of digital assets into DWP Management's funds has been praised for its efficiency and flexibility, providing a platform for accredited participants to contribute to XRP directly [1].
Furthermore, DWP Management extends its services to include crypto-backed loans, enabling investors to access liquidity without liquidating their holdings in XRP, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Solana (SOL). This service furthers the integration of digital assets into traditional financial operations and long-term investment planning [1].
Max Kahn, CEO of DWP Management, has hailed this milestone as a reflection of the growing role of digital assets in diversified investment strategies. The recent settlement is a significant event in the ongoing evolution of the integration of digital assets into modern portfolios [1].
Initially, the settlement motion was dismissed by Judge Analisa Torres. The central issue in the dispute was whether XRP is a security or a commodity, with the aim of determining if it could have constituted unregistered securities during its sales to individual investors. However, in July 2023, Judge Torres ruled that public exchange sales of XRP were not securities [2]. As a result of the settlement, Ripple was required to pay a $125 million fine, which was lodged in an escrow account [3].
In conclusion, DWP Management's strategic shift towards XRP as a native asset for in-kind contributions, coupled with robust custody, compliance, and liquidity solutions, represents a pioneering integration of digital assets into conventional investment frameworks [1][2][3][4]. This move signifies a step towards mainstream institutional adoption of digital assets, as more organisations follow suit in embracing the potential of this burgeoning industry.
