↓ -10%Ripple USD (RLUSD) reaches $900 million as Brale brings regulated stablecoins to XRP Ledger. * Brale has launched regulated stablecoin support directly on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). * The integration enables fintechs to issue and manage USD-backed stablecoins like Ripple USD (RLUSD) within a compliant system. * RLUSD has reached nearly $900 million in circulation since its launch in late 2024. Brale has officially announced that regulated stablecoins are now live on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a key step in connecting traditional finance with blockchain. The new feature allows businesses to issue and manage stablecoins directly on XRPL, creating programmable, compliant digital dollars on one of the most established payment networks in crypto. The XRP Ledger, known for its low-cost and high-speed settlement, now supports Brale's stablecoin issuance and management tools. With this addition, companies can use Brale's API to create, manage, and settle stablecoins backed by U.S. dollars or other supported currencies. The same API also provides on-ramps, off-ramps, and wallet infrastructure, enabling seamless custody and settlement for financial institutions and payment providers. This integration opens the door for fintechs, payment service providers (PSPs), and corporates to move their existing financial operations on-chain, with Brale's technology managing compliance and reserve transparency. Ripple USD (RLUSD) expands reach across networks. As part of this collaboration, Brale now supports Ripple's USD-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, which operates on both XRPL and Ethereum. This expansion allows faster, regulated transfers of digital dollars globally. Businesses can now use RLUSD for settlements, payments, and treasury operations in a regulated and transparent way. Each RLUSD token is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar deposits and cash equivalents, ensuring reliability and stability. Since its late 2024 debut, RLUSD's circulation has climbed to nearly $900 million. Its growing adoption across decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, Ripple's payment solutions, and institutional networks signals increasing demand for trusted digital dollar assets. Ripple's Stablecoin Product Lead, Lauren Berta, noted that stablecoins are rapidly changing how value moves across borders and industries, positioning XRPL at the center of this transformation. Building a trusted bridge between finance and blockchain. In combination with Brale, XRPL, and RLUSD, create a regulated, scalable digital payments framework that can be used on a global scale. Brale brings with it licensed issuing and stablecoin administration infrastructure, while XRPL adds speed with built-in controls over compliance. These controls would allow issuers to determine who is qualified to possess or move assets, aligning blockchain functioning with regulatory requirements. The partnership sheds light on regulated stablecoins as reducing real-time settlement complexity, promoting greater transparency, and boosting access to finance.
In the U.S., Brale, a fintech startup, raised $30 million in a seed round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, also closing on September 18th.
Additionally, BIT Mining is launching DOLAI, a USD-denominated stablecoin on the Solana Blockchain, in partnership with Brale Inc., focusing on connecting AI agents, merchants, consumers, and institutional finance.
