Ripple is acquiring Rail, a Toronto-based stablecoin payments platform, in a deal worth $200 million. The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 2025, pending regulatory approval.
Why Rail Matters
Rail handles approximately 10% of global B2B stablecoin payment volume and offers vital infrastructure such as virtual accounts, automated back-office tools, and an extensive network of banking partners to facilitate cross-border payments with speed and compliance.
Strategic Implications for Ripple
This move significantly strengthens Rippleās leadership in the stablecoin payments space, aligning with its RLUSD stablecoin and enterprise-grade payment infrastructure. The integration will enhance Rippleās capabilities in on/offāramp services, liquidity provision, multi-bank reach, and regulatory compliance.
