Ripple and OpenPayd Join Forces to Deliver Enterprise-Ready Stablecoin Solutions
Amsterdam, July 4, 2025 — Financial infrastructure provider OpenPayd has announced a strategic partnership with Ripple to deliver compliant, efficient, and scalable payment solutions tailored for enterprise clients. This collaboration aims to streamline cross-border payments and advance stablecoin infrastructure by combining Ripple’s blockchain expertise with OpenPayd’s robust global fiat infrastructure.
Enhancing Payment Infrastructure with Ripple and OpenPayd
OpenPayd brings to the table a comprehensive suite of global fiat infrastructure capabilities, including real-time payment rails, multi-currency accounts, and virtual IBANs. Through this partnership, these services will support Ripple Payments in EUR and GBP currencies. Ripple Payments is Ripple’s well-established cross-border payment solution that leverages blockchain technology, digital assets, and a global payout network to enable efficient, transparent, and reliable financial transactions for banks, fintech firms, and crypto companies worldwide.
The alliance also bolsters OpenPayd’s recently launched stablecoin infrastructure, designed to make money movement instantaneous and more efficient. This infrastructure connects local and international fiat rails to major blockchains, empowering businesses to hold, view, receive, and execute payments across any digital currency and payment network on a global scale.
Introducing Ripple USD (RLUSD) Stablecoin with OpenPayd’s Services
A key feature of this partnership is the introduction of direct minting and burning functionalities for Ripple USD (RLUSD), a USD-denominated stablecoin. Enterprises will have the ability to seamlessly convert between fiat currencies and RLUSD by leveraging OpenPayd’s embedded accounts, payments, and trading solutions — all accessible through a single API integration.
RLUSD is designed as an enterprise-grade stablecoin emphasizing both utility and regulatory compliance. Backed by Ripple’s deep experience operating at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance, it offers a secure and compliant digital asset for corporate users.
Use Cases and Industry Impact
The Ripple and OpenPayd collaboration targets several core use cases, including:
- Cross-Border Payments: Enhancing speed and cost-effectiveness in international transactions.
- Global Treasury Management: Streamlining liquidity management and financial operations for multinational corporations.
- Simplified Access to USD Liquidity: Providing enterprises with easy and secure access to USD-denominated stablecoins.
With growing enterprise demand for stablecoins, there is an increasing need for real-time, interoperable infrastructure that seamlessly bridges traditional finance and blockchain networks. This partnership addresses those market demands by delivering transparent, efficient, and cost-effective money movement solutions.
Commitment to Mainstream Stablecoin Adoption and Payment Innovation
Ripple and OpenPayd emphasize their shared dedication to optimizing fiat infrastructure and fostering mainstream stablecoin adoption. By integrating Ripple Payments with OpenPayd’s rail-agnostic and interoperable fiat capabilities, the companies aim to offer a unified platform that bridges the gap between traditional finance systems and blockchain technology.
