$XRP just got a double boost moments before the SEC officially dropped its appeal, Ripple announced a $200M deal to acquire Rail, a Toronto-based stablecoin payments platform. The deal is set to close in Q4 2025, pending final regulatory approval.
Why Rail Is a Big Deal
Rail processes around 10% of global B2B stablecoin payments and brings with it key infrastructure — virtual accounts, automated back-office systems, and a wide network of banking partners — making cross-border payments faster, smoother, and fully compliant.
What This Means for Ripple
This acquisition supercharges Ripple’s position in the stablecoin payments arena, perfectly complementing its RLUSD stablecoin and enterprise payment network. It strengthens Ripple’s on/off-ramp capabilities, liquidity access, multi-bank connections, and regulatory reach — setting the stage for serious growth now that legal clouds have cleared.
Looks like XRP’s regulatory chapter has closed… and the next one could be all about expansion. 🚀
