Ripple Mint Launches to Expand Institutional Access to RLUSD Stablecoin

A new institutional platform allows customers to mint, redeem, and manage Ripple USD through a web interface and APIs, while multichain expansion broadens RLUSD’s reach across payments, trading, and decentralized finance.

The platform combines a browser-based interface with application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow institutions to automate stablecoin operations, integrate RLUSD into existing systems, and manage digital dollar liquidity across supported blockchain networks. Ripple said the unified platform gives customers the flexibility to choose between manual and programmatic workflows while reducing operational complexity.

Ripple Mint adds APIs, webhook notifications, programmatic balance access and transaction status tracking to help institutions automate RLUSD activity. Consistent reference IDs connect each step of the minting and redemption process, giving exchanges, market makers and fintech companies clearer visibility across fiat transfers and blockchain transactions.

The launch also extends RLUSD beyond its original deployments on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. New support is being added for the XRPL EVM Sidechain, Base, Optimism, Ink and Unichain, giving institutions and developers more ways to use the stablecoin across decentralized finance, payments and other blockchain-based services.

The XRPL EVM Sidechain is central to that strategy because it combines Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility with a connection to the XRP Ledger. That structure allows RLUSD to work with Ethereum-based tools and applications while supporting additional liquidity, settlement and transaction activity within the broader XRP ecosystem.

Existing RLUSD customers can use Ripple Mint immediately through either manual or automated workflows. The company plans to develop the platform into a broader system for institutional stablecoin operations and liquidity management.
