- Ripple partners with DBS and Franklin Templeton
- Launch aims to boost trading using tokenized money market funds
- Ripple’s $RLUSD stablecoin powers lending services
In a major development for blockchain-based finance, Ripple has announced a groundbreaking partnership with banking giant DBS and asset management leader Franklin Templeton. This strategic alliance focuses on launching new trading and lending solutions built around tokenized money market funds and Ripple’s upcoming $RLUSD stablecoin.
This move marks a significant shift in how traditional finance interacts with blockchain technology. By integrating tokenized assets into existing financial systems, these institutions aim to improve liquidity, transparency, and efficiency in capital markets.
Tokenized money market funds are digital representations of traditional short-term debt instruments, such as U.S. Treasury bills, placed on blockchain networks. This allows for faster settlement times, programmable finance features, and better access for global users.
$RLUSD Stablecoin Powers Lending Innovation
Ripple’s soon-to-launch $RLUSD stablecoin will serve as the foundation for lending products within the partnership. The token is expected to be fully backed by high-quality U.S. dollar assets and aims to bring regulatory clarity and enterprise-grade reliability to the stablecoin space.
Franklin Templeton, known for its tokenized U.S. government money fund on blockchain, brings valuable expertise to the table. Meanwhile, DBS has been active in digital asset trading and custody services in Asia, making them a strong pillar in executing this vision.
Together, the trio plans to enable smart contract-based lending mechanisms that automatically deploy tokenized funds as collateral — opening new doors for secure, automated DeFi-style products tailored for institutions.
Ripple’s Broader Push for Real-World Asset Adoption
This partnership is part of Ripple’s broader strategy to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) and promote blockchain adoption beyond crypto speculation. By working with established institutions, Ripple aims to provide scalable and compliant financial tools that traditional investors can trust.
As regulators continue to shape the stablecoin and tokenized asset markets, initiatives like this could accelerate adoption and bridge the gap between legacy finance and decentralized technologies.
