Ripple Labs

12 stories
The role of Ripple Labs begins with RLUSD stablecoin issuer rather than with secondary-market trading. The relationship between XRP Ledger ecosystem, Ripple Payments network, and RLUSD stablecoin issuer explains why Ripple Labs belongs in this taxonomy rather than a broader catch-all category. Editorial scope extends from institutional crypto custody to cross-border settlement products, with prime brokerage acquisition strategy included only where it changes the risks or capabilities of issuance, backing and redemption.

The nearest editorial boundary is the issued stablecoin, governance token and secondary-market price connected with Ripple Labs, which remain distinct unless a Ripple Labs decision directly changes them.
