Ripple and Coinbase have partnered to bring the Ripple USD stablecoin to Coinbase’s retail and institutional platforms, expanding its U.S. distribution beyond exchange trading to execution, settlement and custody. The integration, announced on October 28, 2026, includes dollar conversions and deposits and withdrawals across three blockchain networks. Key takeaways RLUSD is available through Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Exchange and the Coinbase Retail app. Supported dollars and dollar-denominated stablecoins convert into RLUSD at 1:1. Transfers span XRP Ledger, Base and Ethereum, with Ripple supplying liquidity on Base. Ripple says RLUSD’s market capitalization has exceeded $2.4 billion.
