Ripple also expanded RLUSD’s compliance and institutional payments infrastructure in July through a partnership with Notabene. The integration brings RLUSD to Notabene Flow, a business-to-business stablecoin payments platform, while the companies are exploring ways to connect Notabene’s transaction authorization and compliance infrastructure with Ripple Payments.

Another major milestone came in June: RLUSD officially launched in Japan after receiving approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency. SBI VC Trade began offering the stablecoin through its VCTRADE platform to both institutional and retail customers. SBI described RLUSD as Japan’s first stablecoin handled under the country’s fourth category of electronic payment instruments.

Ripple has also been widening RLUSD’s regional reach. In June, the company announced partnerships with BiLira, Bitexen and Bitlo that made RLUSD available to institutions in Türkiye.
