Ripple's RLUSD Powers Institutional Off-Ramp for BlackRock & VanEck Funds
Ripple, in collaboration with Securitize, has integrated its RLUSD stablecoin as an off-ramp for tokenized funds from BlackRock and VanEck. This development enhances liquidity and interoperability in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization ecosystem.
A new smart contract allows holders of BlackRock's BUIDL and VanEck's VBILL to instantly exchange their tokenized shares for RLUSD, automating liquidity and enabling onchain transfers. RLUSD, launched by Ripple in early 2025, is designed for institutional finance and has gained acceptance from global authorities.
This integration supports the rapid growth of tokenized RWAs on the Securitize platform, which now exceeds $4 billion in assets.
