Ripple Mint went live this week, giving institutional clients a dedicated portal to mint, redeem, bridge, and manage RLUSD without routing requests through manual workflows. Existing institutional RLUSD customers got access immediately on launch day.
The platform exposes APIs and webhook notifications so that exchanges, market makers, and fintechs can wire RLUSD operations directly into their own back-office systems. From a single interface, clients can pull account balances, check transaction status in real time, and trigger fiat redemptions, all without leaving their internal tooling. Consistent reference identifiers thread through every stage of a transaction, linking fiat deposits, mint processing, onchain settlement, and final payouts into one traceable chain.
Wider chain coverage behind the launch
Ripple Mint arrives shortly after RLUSD expanded well beyond its original XRP Ledger and Ethereum footprint. The stablecoin now runs on Base, Ink, Optimism, Unichain, and the XRPL EVM Sidechain, a move Ripple framed as pushing RLUSD deeper into DeFi protocols, payment apps, and onchain financial infrastructure that is itself moving toward regulated assets.
On the compliance side, RLUSD is issued in the US through Standard Custody & Trust Company, a trust company under New York Department of Financial Services oversight. Reserves are held one-to-one in cash and cash equivalents inside segregated accounts, a structure that mirrors the reserve model regulators have pushed stablecoin issuers toward. Regulatory clearance is increasingly the deciding factor for institutional adoption across tokenized financial products right now, and Ripple is leaning into that dynamic.
The company has not disclosed current RLUSD mint volumes or the number of institutional clients already onboarded to the new platform.
