Ripple Integrates RLUSD Stablecoin into Cross-Border Payments

Ripple has officially integrated its RLUSD stablecoin into its cross-border payments platform, marking a major milestone for the company’s enterprise-focused digital asset.

Launched in December, RLUSD has quickly gained traction, nearing $250 million in market cap and $10 billion in trading volume. According to Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple, the adoption rate has exceeded expectations, with RLUSD being used as collateral in both crypto and traditional finance markets.

Now, RLUSD is fully embedded into Ripple Payments, with cross-border payment providers BKK Forex and iSend among the first to leverage it for treasury operations. Unlike stablecoins primarily designed for retail use, RLUSD is built for global enterprise applications, enhancing the efficiency and speed of international transactions.
