Cross River Bank announced on October 15 that it has linked Ripple's US dollar-backed RLUSD stablecoin to its core banking platform with XRP Ledger support. This integration allows fintechs to access RLUSD payments through the same API used for conventional banking services, streamlining cross-border payments and treasury transfers. Services are currently available in a limited number of US states. The move expands Ripple's distribution channel and positions RLUSD as an additional payment rail for fintech customers.
