Transak, one of the world’s most trusted Web3 payments infrastructure providers, has announced the official integration of Ripple’s USD-pegged stablecoin RLUSD. Users across more than 150 countries can now purchase RLUSD directly using fiat currencies via bank transfers, credit cards, and other popular payment methods on the Ethereum network. This move makes RLUSD — Ripple’s fully-backed, enterprise-grade stablecoin — instantly accessible through Transak’s robust fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, which is already embedded in more than 450 wallets and decentralized applications (dApps). With over 8.3 million users, Transak’s support provides a major boost to RLUSD’s global distribution. “Transak has always strived to make finance truly accessible, and that includes bringing on assets like RLUSD that balance blockchain ethos with compliance requirements,” said Sami Start , CEO and co-founder of Transak. “With this integration, users gain access to one of the most thoughtfully designed stablecoins in the market, now available through a seamless and trusted fiat-to-crypto experience.” RLUSD: Institutional Stability Meets Consumer Access Originally designed for enterprise use cases such as global settlements and on-chain treasury management, RLUSD is now easily available to retail users via a user-friendly on-ramp. RLUSD is issued under a New York trust charter and regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), ensuring full compliance with US financial laws. Each RLUSD token is backed 1:1 by US dollars and cash equivalents, with assets held in a segregated reserve. Monthly attestation reports offer additional transparency, meeting the increasing demand for fully auditable stablecoin reserves. The stablecoin is issued by Standard Custody, a Ripple subsidiary that is licensed as a limited purpose trust company by the NYDFS. RLUSD is natively issued on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, giving it cross-chain functionality. The Ethereum deployment is the one now supported by Transak’s integration. A Compliant On-Ramp for the Next Generation of Stablecoins Transak’s decision to support RLUSD shows its commitment to compliant infrastructure. The company is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), licensed as a Money Services Business (MSB) with FinCEN in the United States, and holds Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registrations in the EU. The RLUSD onboarding experience through Transak is enhanced with multi-tiered KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, 24/7 live support, and leading security certifications, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance. This allows users to buy RLUSD with peace of mind and confidence in regulatory soundness. Ripple’s Strategy for Stablecoin Domination Ripple launched RLUSD earlier this year as part of its broader effort to enter the stablecoin sector with a highly compliant, US-based solution. With regulatory uncertainty still looming over many stablecoins, RLUSD aims to offer a “safe harbor” for institutions and fintechs that require legally sound, transparent payment instruments. Unlike algorithmic or offshore-issued stablecoins, RLUSD benefits from Ripple’s institutional reputation, a segregated asset reserve, and oversight from a top US regulatory body. Transak’s global reach and seamless user experience provide the missing link to put this stablecoin in the hands of both institutional and retail users. Users can now purchase RLUSD directly by visiting globaltransak.com , or by using Transak within their favorite Web3 wallet or dApp.
