Ripple has announced the launch of Ripple Mint, a new platform designed to help expand institutional access to its RLUSD stablecoin. The launch empowers customers with additional options for minting, redeeming and managing RLUSD both manually and via automated integrations.

Ripple Launches New Platform To Promote RLUSD’s Institutional Use

According to the launch, “Ripple Mint is here – a unified way for institutions to access, mint, redeem, and manage Ripple USD (RLUSD).” The company notes that stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important asset class for trading, payments and treasury management, and consequently demand for flexible access to these assets is growing.

For context, RLUSD stablecoin is issued under Standard Custody & Trust Company LLC, a trust company chartered by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). The structure is “regulated” and offers the transparency and oversight that institutional customers need, Ripple said.

Ripple Mint offers two options for institutions: Web-Based or Direct Connect via API. This is a way of working that helps businesses that require automation with traditional operational controls, the company said.

Using the platform, institutions can mint and redeem RLUSD. They can also transfer the stablecoin from one supported blockchain to another. In addition, it will allow institutions to track the transactions from their creation to maturity, and incorporate RLUSD activities into current systems.

Meanwhile, Ripple also invested in Notabene to further boost RLUSD’s institutional access.

A Look At Other Latest Features

Ripple also unveiled new APIs and webhook notifications. These features enable users to check the status of their transactions, check account balance programatically, and get real-time updates at various stages of minting and redemption. Each workflow employs uniform reference IDs to enhance visibility in fiat and blockchain transactions, the firm said.

The company said, “Through new APIs and webhook notifications, customers can now integrate RLUSD workflows directly into their own systems, enabling automation, operational visibility, and easier reconciliation.”

The implementation also aligns with RLUSD’s growing multichain initiative. The stablecoin is now expanding beyond the XRP Ledger and Ethereum to the XRPL EVM Sidechain, Base, Optimism, Ink and Unichain, Ripple said.

The XRPL EVM Sidechain was highlighted as a crucial component of the company’s strategy. For context, the sidechain will give developers the ability to support EVMs while maintaining a strong connection with the XRP Ledger ecosystem.

The expansion will expand the availability of RLUSD on crypto exchanges, decentralized finance protocols, payment applications, and new on-chain financial infrastructure, Ripple said. The company states that XRP and RLUSD would be used synergically in Liquidity, Settlement, Collateral, Swaps and Payments.

They also said that the platform is already available for existing users. It added, “Ripple Mint is available to existing RLUSD customers today.”
