Ripple Doubles Down on RLUSD With Mint Launch and Notabene Investment

Ripple has announced the launch of Ripple Mint, a new platform that gives institutional customers a single interface to access, mint, redeem, and manage RLUSD, its stablecoin. The company stated that the main objective is to make digital dollars easier to access, integrate, and operate at scale as stablecoins become more deeply embedded in trading, payments, and treasury operations.

According to the official blog post, Ripple Mint expands RLUSD access beyond traditional platform-based workflows. Institutions can now manage the stablecoin either through a user interface or programmatic integrations. With Ripple Mint, institutions can mint and redeem RLUSD directly from the issuer, bridge the stablecoin across supported blockchains, monitor funds throughout the full transaction lifecycle, and integrate RLUSD operations into their own internal systems.

The rollout will not affect existing customers, who will now be able to use the platform for both manual operations and automated integrations. Ripple has also introduced new APIs and webhook notifications that allow customers to automate RLUSD workflows, query transaction status during minting and redemption, access account balances programmatically, and receive real-time updates on events such as fiat receipt, mint processing, on-chain settlement, and payout completion.

Alongside the launch of Ripple Mint, Ripple made a strategic investment in Notabene, a company focused on regulated on-chain transaction infrastructure. The two companies will collaborate to grow enterprise stablecoin payments by integrating RLUSD into Notabene Flow, the firm’s B2B stablecoin payments platform. They will also explore how trusted payment authorization can complement Ripple Payments.

The partnership combines Ripple’s enterprise payments ecosystem and RLUSD with Notabene’s institutional network, which reportedly spans over 2,300 connected institutions across more than 100 jurisdictions, serves over 280 customers, and facilitates over $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume.

Ripple’s RLUSD has continued to expand since its launch and now has a market capitalization of nearly $1.6 billion. In August 2025, Ripple partnered with Japan’s SBI Holdings to distribute the stablecoin in the country through SBI VC Trade starting in the first quarter of 2026. In March 2026, the company joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s BLOOM initiative with Unloq to test RLUSD and the XRP Ledger for programmable cross-border trade settlement. A month later, OKX listed the stablecoin to expand its global access, liquidity, and trading utility. More recently, RLUSD was included in Mastercard’s expanded stablecoin settlement program.
