Ripple Integrates RLUSD – Ripple adds RLUSD to its payments platform, boosting cross-border transactions & enterprise adoption.

RLUSD Listed on Kraken – Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD expands accessibility, driving adoption in DeFi, asset tokenization & payments.

Ripple has integrated its USD-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, into its enterprise-grade cross-border payments platform. The move is set to boost cross-border transactions and enterprise adoption of RLUSD.

RLUSD integration into Ripple’s payments platform marks a significant step in expanding the stablecoin’s utility beyond its role in DeFi and asset tokenization.

This development comes as RLUSD also becomes available for trading on Kraken, further expanding its accessibility.

"Stablecoins should be trusted, compliance-first, and built for real-world finance - RLUSD is setting the standard. Now live in Ripple Payments, RLUSD powers enterprise payments, asset tokenization & DeFi."

Since its launch in December 2024, RLUSD has seen tremendous growth, with its market cap recently touching nearly $200 million, according to Artemis data.

The move to include the stablecoin in its payments platform marks a natural progression for Ripple, which has been expanding its network to connect over 90 payout markets, including banks, financial institutions, and payment service providers.

The launch also comes amid growing interest in stablecoins, with industry leaders like Binance’s CZ discussing the healthy competition within the market.

Analysts also anticipate that as stablecoin adoption expands, banks will likely begin offering their own stablecoins, adding another layer to the evolving landscape of the digital asset ecosystem.
