Ripple and Robinhood announced a broader partnership on October 27, 2026, covering stablecoins, institutional trading and treasury management. The agreement expands RLUSD use across Robinhood’s retail and institutional businesses while adding Ripple’s treasury and brokerage services. It also covers institutional settlement through the XRP Ledger and financing services for Bitstamp by Robinhood.

The companies expect the stablecoin to become available in the Robinhood app later this year. Robinhood will also use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement. The arrangement extends the stablecoin’s role across Bitstamp’s institutional business.
Ripple President Monica Long said the partnership combines customer-facing services with financial operations. Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood Crypto and International’s senior vice president and general manager, said the companies would use RLUSD for institutional settlement.
Beyond stablecoin settlement, Robinhood will integrate Ripple Treasury to automate its global financial operations. The system will support cash and liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, payments, risk management and intercompany netting.
The companies will also expand their existing relationship through Ripple Prime, which provides institutional financing, liquidity and market access. Ripple Prime offers Bitstamp by Robinhood lending and margin financing across roughly 20 digital assets.
Additionally, Ripple Prime clients can trade spot markets on Bitstamp, with perpetual futures trading support planned for later this year. Kerbrat said the arrangement connects stablecoin settlement, treasury operations and institutional financing within the partnership.
The announcement comes as stablecoins become part of financial infrastructure beyond crypto trading. The companies cited total stablecoin supply exceeding $300 billion, while RLUSD’s market capitalization has surpassed $2.4 billion since its December 2024 launch.
Robinhood reported serving 28.6 million funded customers globally, alongside institutional clients through Bitstamp. The partnership brings together Robinhood’s customer and institutional trading services with Ripple’s stablecoin, treasury and prime brokerage offerings.
