Ripple Integrates XRP, RLUSD Into Treasury Management

In major XRP news, Ripple has integrated native on-chain capabilities into its treasury management system, enabling CFOs to easily access crypto assets such as XRP and RLUSD. This comes after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed how Ripple Treasury processed up to $13 trillion in payments last year, without any involvement in crypto payments.

XRP News Today: Ripple Integrates Crypto Into Treasury Management

In a press release, Ripple announced that it has introduced the first native on-chain capabilities in an enterprise treasury management system. Its treasury management system, Ripple Treasury, has now added Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury, enabling CFOs to view, hold, receive, and manage fiat and digital liquidity within their existing dashboard.

This marks the crypto firm’s latest integration of decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional finance (TradFi), even as it continues to expand its operations. The Ripple Treasury dashboard provides a unified view of cash and crypto assets, including XRP and the RLUSD stablecoin.

This move is expected to boost crypto payments among institutions by enabling 24/7 liquidity management through this integration. It also further places the crypto firm at the heart of global finance, even as Ripple nears becoming a national bank.

It is worth noting that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently mentioned that GTreasury, now Ripple Treasury, processed up to 13 trillion payments last year, none of which involved crypto assets. However, he suggested that this is about to change as stablecoins gain greater adoption and integrate crypto assets such as XRP into their treasury management systems.

In the release, the crypto firm again noted that it facilitated $13 trillion in payment volume for customers ranging from SMEs to Fortune 500 companies. “Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury extend that trusted infrastructure into digital assets for the first time, with multiple customers already in beta ahead of today’s global GA launch,” Ripple added.

How the Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury Work

Ripple stated that the Digital Asset Accounts will enable treasury teams to create and manage a regulated Ripple-native crypto asset account directly within the platform. These crypto balances, which include XRP and RLUSD, will appear within the same structure as cash and be recorded with the same discipline as every other transaction.

The Digital Asset Accounts will also feature real-time valuation, 15-decimal precision, and automated transaction recording. Meanwhile, the Unified Treasury will give treasury teams “complete, real-time visibility, across all digital asset and cash positions in a single dashboard.”

Ripple also mentioned that customers holding crypto assets across multiple custodians can connect those providers via its Treasury’s ClearConnect connectivity layer, enabling them to view their entire liquidity position without assembling data from disparate systems. Unified Treasury features direct API connectivity, real-time market rates, and automated transaction sync.

In addition to boosting its treasury management business, the crypto firm also continues to expand its payment services. As CoinGape reported in another XRP news, Ripple partnered with Convera to boost stablecoin-based cross-border payments.

Ripple revealed plans to expand Digital Asset Accounts and Unified Treasury into its products that enable cross-border payments and 24/7 yield on idle cash through overnight repo.
