Ripple and Securitize integrate RLUSD with BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL, adding a new off-ramp for tokenised fund investors.
Digital asset infrastructure provider Ripple and Securitize, the tokenisation platform, announced a new smart contract that enables holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL to exchange their shares directly for Ripple USD (RLUSD).
The integration establishes an additional stablecoin off-ramp for tokenised short-term treasury funds, giving investors the ability to convert holdings into RLUSD instantly, 24/7. It enhances liquidity and offers continuous exposure to RLUSD while maintaining access to on-chain yields and a broader range of DeFi strategies.
“Making RLUSD available as an exchange option for tokenised funds is a natural next step as we continue to bridge traditional finance and crypto,” said Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple. “RLUSD is for institutional use, offering regulatory clarity, stability, and real utility. Partnerships with trusted platforms like Securitize are key to unlocking new liquidity and enterprise-grade use cases.”
RLUSD, introduced in 2024, is an enterprise-grade stablecoin designed with strict compliance standards, 1:1 USD backing by high-quality liquid assets, third-party attestations, and transparent redemption rights.
Issued under a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Trust Company Charter, it has grown to a market capitalisation of more than US$700 million and is already integrated into Ripple’s cross-border payment network and DeFi liquidity pools.
This partnership marks the first integration of RLUSD into Securitize’s infrastructure. The move also coincides with Securitize’s efforts to expand onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL), further broadening RLUSD’s utility and ecosystem presence.
“Partnering with Ripple to integrate RLUSD into our tokenisation infrastructure is a major step forward in automating liquidity for tokenised assets,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “Together, we’re delivering real-time settlement and programmable liquidity across a new class of compliant, on-chain investment products.”
By embedding RLUSD into tokenised funds like BUIDL and VBILL, Ripple and Securitize are opening pathways for institutional adoption and creating more flexible, transparent financial infrastructure.
