Ripple and Robinhood Expand RLUSD Partnership

Ripple and Robinhood have announced an expanded partnership to connect RLUSD with institutional settlement, treasury operations and financing, broadening the stablecoin’s planned use across Robinhood’s digital asset and financial services. The companies described the arrangement as an expansion of their existing relationship; the announcement does not establish that the planned integrations are already in operation or being widely used. RLUSD is available on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp, according to the partnership announcement. Robinhood plans to use the stablecoin on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement, and expects RLUSD to become available in its main app later in 2026. Robinhood also plans to integrate Ripple Treasury into its financial operations. The announced workflows include cash and liquidity management, forecasting cash flow, payments, risk management and intercompany netting. These tools are intended to support the company’s internal treasury operations, while RLUSD is positioned for institutional settlement. The partnership also involves Ripple Prime, which provides Bitstamp by Robinhood with lending and margin financing across about 20 digital assets....
