The RLUSD integration provides direct access to deep liquidity, enabling businesses to settle international transactions efficiently and quickly. This instant and global settlement capability positions Ripple as a key player in the modernization of the traditional financial system.

“Stablecoins should be trustless, compliance-first, and built for real-world finance — RLUSD is setting the standard. Now available on Ripple Payments, RLUSD powers enterprise payments, asset tokenization, and DeFi,” Ripple said.

RLUSD currently has a market cap of $293 million and over $10 billion in trading volume, the company noted.

Ripple’s initiative demonstrates the potential of stablecoins to drive crypto adoption in the enterprise sector by offering practical solutions to challenges such as slow cross-border transactions and high costs. The integration of RLUSD into Ripple Payments marks a significant step in Ripple’s journey towards a more efficient and inclusive financial future.
