XRP Price Fails to React as Ripple Unveils RLUSD Expansion and Notabene Partnership

Ripple made two major announcements on July 23 that barely moved the price of XRP. The company launched Ripple Mint, a unified platform for institutions to access, mint, redeem, and manage $RLUSD, which was also simultaneously rolled out on five new chains.

The expansion combines EVM compatibility with direct connection to XRPL infrastructure. Base, Optimism, Ink, and Unichain complete the rollout. Ripple stated that as RLUSD scales across these environments, XRP will increasingly serve as a complementary asset for liquidity, settlement, swaps, collateral, and payments across supported chains.

Ripple also made a strategic investment in Notabene alongside a partnership to integrate RLUSD into Notabene Flow, the company's B2B stablecoin payments platform. The integration targets the compliance gap that has slowed enterprise stablecoin adoption.
