Ripple Launches Mint Platform To Boost Institutional RLUSD Access

Ripple has launched a dedicated platform for institutional management of its US dollar-pegged stablecoin, Ripple USD (

), as the token's market capitalization approaches $1.6 billion. The platform, called Ripple Mint, gives institutions the ability to mint, redeem, and manage RLUSD through either a web interface or direct application programming interface integrations.

Ripple described the platform as built around the operational preferences of institutional users. A treasury desk running automated workflows can connect via API, while teams that prefer manual controls can use the web interface. The company said Ripple Mint is designed to support institutions adopting

for payments, trading, and treasury activities.

RLUSD launched in December 2024 with an initial focus on institutional adoption, though the stablecoin has since attracted retail users as well. Within less than a year of launch, it entered the top 10 US dollar-pegged stablecoins by market capitalization, a threshold it crossed before the Ripple Mint announcement.
