Ripple Integrates RLUSD Stablecoin with BlackRock and VanEck Tokenized Funds
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is now accessible within tokenized money-market funds from BlackRock and VanEck, offering investors a seamless on-chain redemption option.
Through a new smart contract on Securitize’s platform, shareholders in BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL funds can swap shares for RLUSD anytime, creating a 24/7 stablecoin off-ramp for tokenized treasuries. This move strengthens RLUSD’s role as a settlement layer for real-world assets (RWA) and expands its institutional adoption.
Jack McDonald, Ripple’s SVP of Stablecoins, said the partnership “bridges traditional finance and crypto,” highlighting RLUSD’s regulatory-compliant, enterprise-grade infrastructure. Launched last year and backed 1:1 with liquid reserves under a New York DFS trust charter, RLUSD now exceeds $700 million in circulation.
The Securitize integration also paves the way for deployment on the XRP Ledger, combining regulatory compliance with DeFi functionality, further solidifying RLUSD’s dual-purpose strategy.
