Ripple, the payments-focused digital asset firm, is expanding its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin Ripple USD (RLUSD) to institutions in Africa through new partnerships with Chipper Cash, VALR and Yellow Card distributors.
The rollout aims to give businesses across the continent access to a stable, digital dollar designed for cross-border payments, liquidity and on-chain settlement, the company said in a Wednesday press release.
RLUSD, launched in late 2024 and issued by a New York trust company regulated by the state’s Department of Financial Services, has grown to over $700 million in supply on Ethereum ETH$4,376.27 and the XRP Ledger (XRP), RWA.xyz data shows. The token could be used for treasury operations, remittances and as collateral for trading tokenized assets such as commodities or securities, Ripple said.
Ripple’s expansion comes as stablecoins emerge as a cheaper and faster alternative to traditional payment channels, especially in emerging markets where access to reliable currencies and banking is often limited. In parts of Africa, residents already use digital dollars like USDT for savings or cross-border transfers, a report by Castle Island and Brevan Howard said. RLUSD’s entry introduces a regulated alternative aimed squarely at institutional users, a segment that faces challenges accessing stable liquidity in local currencies.
In parallel, Mercy Corps Ventures is testing RLUSD in climate risk insurance initiatives in Kenya. In one trial, the stablecoin funds are released automatically when satellite data signals drought conditions. Another pilot underpins rainfall insurance, with payouts triggered by extreme weather events.

Ripple Brings $700M RLUSD Stablecoin to Africa, Trials Extreme Weather Insurances

專注於支付的數位資產公司 Ripple 正在透過與 Chipper Cash、VALR 和 Yellow Card 分銷商建立新的合作夥伴關係，將其美元支持的穩定幣 Ripple USD (RLUSD) 擴展到非洲的機構。
該公司在周三的新聞稿中表示，此次推出的目的是讓整個非洲大陸的企業能夠使用穩定的數位美元，用於跨境支付、流動性和鏈上結算。
RLUSD 於 2024 年底推出，由一家受紐約州金融服務部監管的紐約信託公司發行。數據顯示，RLUSD 在以太坊(ETH) 和XRP幣 (XRP) 上的供應量已超過 7 億美元。 Ripple 表示，該代幣可用於資金管理、匯款，以及作為商品或證券等代幣化資產交易的抵押品。
Ripple 的擴張正值穩定幣逐漸成為傳統支付管道更便宜、更快捷的替代方案之際，尤其是在新興市場，這些市場往往難以獲得可靠的貨幣和銀行服務。 Castle Island 和 Brevan Howard 的報告指出，在非洲部分地區，居民已經使用USDT等數位美元進行儲蓄或跨國轉帳。 RLUSD 的加入引入了一種受監管的替代方案，專門針對機構用戶，而機構用戶在獲取當地貨幣的穩定流動性方面面臨挑戰。
同時，Mercy Corps Ventures 正在肯亞的氣候風險保險計畫中測試 RLUSD。在一項試驗中，當衛星數據顯示乾旱情況出現時，穩定幣資金將自動釋放。另一項試點計畫則支援降雨保險，極端天氣事件將觸發賠償。
