Cross River Bank has announced a partnership with Ripple to integrate RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin, into its core banking infrastructure. This integration will also support transactions on the 
XRP Ledger, potentially increasing the utility of both RLUSD and the XRP Ledger in traditional banking systems.
The partnership could provide fintechs with more options for using RLUSD and the XRP Ledger, which might lead to increased transaction volume. However, the specific details of how the integration will work and the timeline for implementation have not been disclosed.
Ripple's RLUSD has a circulating supply of $2.39 billion, according to DeFiLlama, and the XRP Ledger is known for its fast transaction speeds and low fees. The integration with Cross River Bank could leverage these features to offer more efficient banking services.
The news comes at a time when the total crypto market cap is $2.83 trillion, with 
Bitcoin up 1.58% in the last 24 hours. XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, is currently priced at $1.34, having gained 2.43% in the past day but down 4.05% over the week.
The integration could be a significant step for Ripple in expanding its presence in the traditional banking sector. Observers will be watching for further details on the implementation and any additional partnerships that might follow.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₦1,828.25 (about $1.34), up 2.4% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
