Strategic Investment & Partnerships

Ripple President Monica Long announced a $500 million strategic investment round with firms such as Fortress, Citadel, Pantera, Galaxy, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace. She said the funding validates Ripple’s long‑term direction. Long also highlighted collaborations with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini to use RLUSD for on‑chain credit‑card settlements.

Stablecoin Settlement & Market Milestone

The initiative aims to become one of the first regulated stablecoin settlements of standard card transactions on a public blockchain. RLUSD surpassed a $1 billion market‑cap, signaling growing liquidity and utility. This shift moves Ripple from pilot projects to structured execution in consumer and enterprise payments.

Team Growth & Service Expansion

Palisade co‑founders returned to Ripple, bringing wallet‑as‑service infrastructure that aligns with Ripple’s custody and payment solutions. The integration strengthens Ripple’s service stack and scalability for institutional users. Community feedback, including from Vincent Van Code, views these moves as momentum for regulated settlement and enterprise integration.
