The stablecoin sector has become an essential gateway for cryptocurrency investors. Ripple, with its RLUSD stablecoin launched in December 2024, has understood this potential and is particularly aimed at institutional investors. Its stablecoin has just been integrated into the Securitize tokenization platform, to allow its users to exchange it for shares in tokenized money market funds from BlackRock and VanEck.
Ripple and its stablecoin RLUSD partner with Securitize
The company Ripple, at the origin of XRP, is determined to establish itself as a key player in the stablecoin sector. At least that’s what its recent partnership with Securitize, the platform specializing in the tokenization of real-world assets (or RWA, for Real World Assets), suggests.
In a press release issued on September 23, 2025, Ripple and Securitize announced the launch of a smart contract based on the RLUSD stablecoin to facilitate the exchange of tokenized funds from financial giants BlackRock and VanEck.
“Making RLUSD available as an exchange option for tokenized funds is a logical step in our continued effort to bring traditional finance and the crypto sector closer together. (…) The RLUSD is intended for institutional use, providing regulatory clarity, stability, and real-world utility. As its adoption becomes more widespread, partnerships with trusted platforms such as Securitize are key to unlocking new liquidity and use cases across the enterprise. »
Jack McDonald, Senior Vice President for Stablecoins at Ripple
Facilitating the tokenization of BlackRock and VanEck funds
Indeed, the new feature implemented using a smart contract makes it possible to convert the units of tokenized funds – such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL – into RLUSD stablecoins. The main advantage is to operate 24/7 without human intermediaries, thanks to blockchain technology, and thus allow investors to access instant liquidity.
This additional off-ramp should encourage institutional investors to adopt these new financial products, whose tokenization allows them to benefit from the speed, low cost, and overall efficiency of blockchain networks.
“Our partnership with Ripple to integrate RLUSD into our tokenization infrastructure is a major step forward in automating the liquidity of tokenized assets. (…) Together, we offer real-time settlement, and programmable liquidity, for a new category of compliant and on-chain investment products, bringing the full potential of blockchain technologies to institutional finance. »
Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize
Ripple USD continues its breakthrough in the stablecoin sector with this new integration with the Securitize tokenization platform. This allows RLUSD to position itself a bit more as a digital alternative to the dollar for institutional investors. Especially since stablecoins have been strongly legitimized in the United States with the GENIUS Act, signed last July by President Donald Trump.
