- Gemini announces RLUSD compatibility with XRP Ledger for cross-network transfers.
- Integration follows the Ripple Swell pilot program for blockchain credit card settlements.
- RLUSD market cap surpasses $1.2 billion with major exchange support expanding.
Gemini announced that RLUSD is now compatible with the XRP Ledger on its platform. The integration enables near-instant settlement and lower fees for users transferring stablecoins across networks via the XRPL infrastructure.
The exchange stated that the addition seeks to make cross-network transfers easier for users. The move marks another milestone in Gemini’s partnership with Ripple and aligns with the platform’s efforts to support the RLUSD ecosystem.
Partnership Follows Ripple Swell Announcement
The integration follows a major collaboration unveiled at Ripple Swell 2025 on November 4-5, 2025. Ripple, Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini announced a pilot program to settle fiat credit card transactions using RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. The program was the first use of regulated digital assets on a public blockchain for this purpose.
The Gemini Credit Card will serve as the initial use case for this blockchain-based settlement infrastructure. The pilot aims to reduce settlement times and costs associated with traditional credit card processing systems.
RLUSD has achieved quick adoption since launching in late 2024. The stablecoin’s market capitalization now exceeds $1.2 billion. Multiple major exchanges provide support, including Gemini, Kraken, Bitstamp, and LMAX Digital.
The stablecoin’s expansion across exchanges and networks positions it as a growing alternative in the digital dollar market. RLUSD competes with established stablecoins by offering settlement options on both Ethereum and XRP Ledger infrastructure.
XRP ETFs Pulled Over $950M in Inflows
U.S. spot XRP ETFs pulled in over $950 million in cumulative net inflows. Since the ETF’s launch, there have been no outflows. However, XRP price action continues facing resistance at the $2.09-$2.10 level. The token failed multiple attempts to break through this ceiling and moved back to the $2.00 psychological support level. Heavy spot selling continues, hitting the resistance band as the broader structure remains in multi-week compression.
The RLUSD integration on XRPL through Gemini provides users with additional options for stablecoin settlement while the XRP token consolidates. The combination of growing stablecoin utility and sustained ETF inflows positions the XRP Ledger ecosystem for continued infrastructure development.
