Ripple has invested in Notabene to integrate its RLUSD stablecoin into the Notabene Flow business-to-business payment platform. The partnership targets regulated enterprises by adding RLUSD to a network that processes over $2 trillion in annual transaction volume. Both firms will explore trusted payment authorization tools to support Ripple Payments, aiming to remove compliance barriers for cross-border stablecoin transfers at scale.
Ripple announced a strategic investment in Notabene to expand regulated stablecoin payments for global enterprises. The deal will add RLUSD to Notabene Flow, a platform designed for compliant on-chain business-to-business payments.
Notabene stated its network already handles over $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume. Ripple gains access to infrastructure built for regulated digital asset organizations.
The integration will make RLUSD available to institutional customers through Notabene Flow. The platform provides transaction approval information before funds move, increasing the stablecoin’s utility.
The firms will explore payment authorization processes to augment existing Ripple Payments. This process helps regulated firms identify counterparties and understand transfer reasons before proceeding.
Ripple senior vice president of stablecoin Jack McDonald linked the investment to enterprise compliance. He said suitable infrastructure has remained a long-standing barrier for companies moving money internationally at scale.
McDonald described Notabene as a source of compliant technology. “Together we’re helping build the compliant infrastructure institutions need to move value at global scale while expanding the utility of RLUSD,” he added.
Notabene co-founder and CEO Pelle Braendgaard noted uncertainty among organizations planning to use stablecoins. Institutions must know the recipient and reason for payment, and authorize each transaction according to existing procedures.
Braendgaard said Notabene resolves these issues through its regulated partnerships. The combined infrastructure may allow businesses to connect more counterparties and make faster transfers.
The partnership gives Ripple access to Notabene’s network without an acquisition. Notabene receives an enterprise-oriented stablecoin to complement its payment infrastructure.
Separately, BNY Mellon announced a plan for a 24-hour settlement system serving the United States Treasury market. That project is independent of Ripple’s investment in Notabene.
