#Ripple is acquiring Rail, a payments platform, in a $200 million deal to strengthen its stablecoin payments stack for businesses. The plan is to fold Rail’s tooling into Ripple’s network so cross-border transfers become faster, cheaper, and easier to automate for enterprise users. The transaction is subject to approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2025. Overall, it’s a clear push by Ripple to scale real-world stablecoin payments at enterprise level.
