Ripple has added another institutional rail to its stablecoin strategy: through an integration with Securitize, holders of BlackRock\u2019s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and VanEck\u2019s VBILL tokenized US Treasuries can now redeem fund shares for Ripple USD (RLUSD) around the clock\u2014initially on Ethereum, with support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

BlackRock And VanEck Turn To Ripple\u2019s RLUSD<\/h2>\n

In a press release<\/a> dated September 23, Ripple and Securitize said a new smart-contract flow \u201cwould allow holders of BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL and VanEck\u2019s VBILL to exchange their shares \u2026 for Ripple USD (RLUSD),\u201d describing the mechanism as \u201can additional stablecoin off ramp for BUIDL and VBILL tokenized short term treasury funds.\u201d The companies emphasized continuous availability\u2014\u201c24\/7\u201d\u2014and framed the upgrade as programmable liquidity for compliant, on-chain investment products. Securitize also confirmed it is integrating with the XRP Ledger \u201cto expand access and bring new utility to the XRPL ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack McDonald, Ripple\u2019s SVP of Stablecoins, positioned the move as a bridge between tokenized funds and transactional money: \u201cRLUSD is for institutional use, offering regulatory clarity, stability, and real utility. As adoption grows, partnerships with trusted platforms like Securitize are key to unlocking new liquidity and enterprise-grade use cases.\u201d On X, McDonald distilled the news for market participants: \u201cRLUSD is now a key stablecoin offramp for BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL and VanEck\u2019s VBILL tokenized fund holders. The integration is starting with ETH, though Securitize is planning to integrate with the XRP Ledger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ripple President Monica Long linked the Securitize integration to a broader RLUSD tokenization push announced the prior week with DBS and Franklin Templeton, where RLUSD serves as a \u201cliquid, stable and compliant exchange mechanism for tokenized assets in lending and trading use cases.\u201d \u201cThis week, Securitize added RLUSD as a new offramp for BlackRock and VanEck\u2019s tokenized funds,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse underscored the 24\/7 redemption promise and the XRPL roadmap: \u201cVery excited to share that BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL and @VanEck_US\u2019s VBILL tokenized fund holders can redeem shares for RLUSD\/ETH 24\/7 365 through Securitize, and soon to come RLUSD\/XRPL. Enterprise-grade instant onchain liquidity at your fingertips. That\u2019s real utility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The companies framed the design as explicitly regulatory-first. Ripple said RLUSD<\/a> is issued under a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) trust charter, with \u201c1:1 USD backing by high-quality liquid assets, strict reserve management and asset segregation, third-party attestations and clear redemption rights.\u201d Ripple added that since launch in late 2024, RLUSD has integrated into DeFi and cross-border payment flows and surpassed $700 million in market capitalization.<\/p>\n

For tokenized funds, the off-ramp matters because it stitches together yield-bearing on-chain treasuries with settlement-grade stablecoin liquidity. BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL and VanEck\u2019s VBILL are tokenized short-term US Treasury strategies issued through Securitize on public blockchains; the new workflow lets qualified holders convert fund shares into RLUSD without banking hours friction, potentially improving collateral mobility for trading, lending, repo and treasury operations.<\/p>\n

Ripple Puts New Focus On Tokenization<\/h2>\n

The development also follows Ripple\u2019s tie-up with DBS and Franklin Templeton<\/a>, which is listing Franklin\u2019s sgBENJI token on the DBS Digital Exchange alongside RLUSD to enable swapping between the tokenized fund and the stablecoin, and to explore using tokenized fund units as repo collateral\u2014an example of how banks envisage tokenization rails meeting institutional liquidity needs.<\/p>\n

While the initial redemption path is live on Ethereum via Securitize, both firms signaled that XRPL integration is next, aligning with Ripple\u2019s push to make RLUSD natively useful across multiple venues. If executed, XRPL support would extend the same institutional redemption mechanics to a different settlement environment\u2014one that Ripple and parts of the treasury-tokenization market already touch via custody, payments, and prior Franklin Templeton XRPL issuance plans.<\/p>\n

Notably, BlackRock will be represented at Ripple Swell 2025<\/a> in New York on November 4\u20135 at Convene Hudson Yards. Maxwell Stein, BlackRock\u2019s Director of Digital Assets, is slated to speak in a session titled \u201cThe Impact of Tokenized Financial Assets on Capital Markets,\u201d alongside Rory Callagy of Moody\u2019s.<\/p>\n

At press time, XRP traded at $2.88.<\/p>\n
