- Robinhood Partners with Ripple to Launch RLUSD Stablecoin for 29M Users — this brief
Robinhood has announced a partnership with Ripple to integrate the RLUSD stablecoin into its platform, expanding access to its 29 million customers. The collaboration will cover settlement, trading, and treasury operations, according to multiple outlets.
Ripple's RLUSD is a dollar-backed stablecoin with a market cap of $2.6 billion and a circulating supply of $2.59 billion, as verified by DeFiLlama. This integration could significantly increase the stablecoin's visibility and usage among retail users.
The partnership is part of a broader trend of traditional finance platforms embracing blockchain technology. Robinhood's total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance is currently $614.35 million, representing a 5.5% decrease over the past week, according to DeFiLlama.
The collaboration is expected to be rolled out later this year, although specific timelines have not been provided. This move follows Ripple's ongoing efforts to expand its presence in the stablecoin market, particularly after the recent regulatory clarity in the United States.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.76 trillion. 
Bitcoin is up 0.19% in the last 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The chart plots RLUSD's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 RLUSD ≈ ₦1,385.93 (about $0.9999), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 1.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
