🚨 Ripple is acquiring Rail — a global stablecoin payments platform — in a $200M deal set to close in Q4 2025 (pending regulatory approval).

The goal?

💳 Power seamless, 24/7 stablecoin payments

🌐 Expand reach of $XRP and RLUSD

🏦 Help banks & fintechs offer instant digital settlements — without managing crypto directly

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse:

“No such thing as summer slowdown at @Ripple… Ripple + @RailFinancial will become the leading infrastructure provider for stablecoin payments.”

Why it matters:

• Demand for stablecoin-based transactions is exploding

• Rail’s tech = automated flows + virtual accounts = less friction for B2B payments

• Ripple is doubling down on becoming the backbone of global digital finance

Fintechs, take note: the stablecoin race just got more competitive.
