Ripple’s RLUSD is getting something every stablecoin wants: a direct route into a platform with tens of millions of funded customers and a growing institutional business.

Ripple announced Tuesday that RLUSD is now live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood. The company says the dollar-backed token is expected to reach the main Robinhood app later this year, putting it in front of a platform that reports 28.6 million funded customers worldwide.

That consumer reach is only one piece of the deal. Robinhood plans to use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement through Bitstamp, while Ripple Treasury will be integrated into Robinhood’s own cash, liquidity, forecasting, payment, risk and intercompany-netting operations.
