We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
Dependable access to financing is critical to institutional participants in today’s dynamic markets, and Ripple Prime’s ability to meet this need just got that much stronger.
We're proud to partner with Neuberger on a $200M debt facility to meet rising client demand for our institutional-grade prime services and margin financing solutions.
Bigger balance sheet. Better capital efficiency. Best-in-class service. https://t.co/dAVPrMKwde
Big life update.
I'm joining the new XRP Ledger Foundation leadership team as a Director, Community.
Very excited to accelerate the XRP ecosystem with very powerful team members on my side.
There is a lot in flight and the timing is perfect.
Back to the roots!
Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.
This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.
1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger
2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account
Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets.
By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.
Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
The world's most adaptable treasury platform, trusted by industry leaders worldwide.
