Ripple and Robinhood Expand Partnership Into Stablecoins and Treasury

Ripple and Robinhood are expanding their strategic partnership across stablecoins, institutional settlement and treasury operations, giving Ripple’s dollar stablecoin RLUSD a larger role in Robinhood’s digital asset ecosystem.

RLUSD is live on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood. The companies expect it to become available in the Robinhood app by the end of 2026 and plan to use it for institutional settlement.

Robinhood will connect Ripple Treasury to automate its global treasury operations. Through Ripple Prime, the companies plan to expand collaboration in lending, margin financing and spot trading.

The deal brings a major blockchain company together with a large U.S. trading platform. Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood are the current RLUSD destinations named in the partnership, while the Robinhood app is expected to follow later in 2026. Institutional settlement is another planned use for the stablecoin. The remaining announced work centers on global treasury operations and services in lending, margin financing and spot trading.
