Ripple and Robinhood Link RLUSD, Treasury Operations and Prime Services

The partnership combines live RLUSD access on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp with planned retail availability and broader treasury and financing work.

Ripple and Robinhood announced a strategic partnership on October 27 spanning stablecoin distribution, treasury management and institutional markets. RLUSD is already live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood. The companies say Robinhood will use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement, while availability in the Robinhood retail app is expected later in 2026 rather than live today.

Robinhood also plans to integrate Ripple Treasury into its own cash, liquidity, forecasting, payments, risk and intercompany-netting operations. Ripple Prime already provides Bitstamp by Robinhood with lending and margin financing across roughly 20 digital assets and gives Ripple Prime clients spot access on Bitstamp; perpetual-futures support is planned for later in the year. The announcement establishes the partnership and current services, but not completion of every planned integration.
