The post Ripple News: RLUSD Push Drives Ripple Toward Federal Banking Charter appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Ripple might be stepping into a whole new league, and this time, itβs not just about crypto hype. In a recent conversation, Ripple President Monica Long laid out how the company plans to do it and why now might be the perfect time.
From State License to Federal Ambition
Rippleβs stablecoin RLUSD didnβt launch randomly. It was introduced under a New York DFS trust license, which already puts it under strict regulatory oversight.Β
RIPPLE JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELLβ¦
Monica Long reveals why their secret banking charter could completely CHANGE the game for $XRP and global payments.
Banks are shaking. The floodgates are about to open.

Now, following the passing of the Genius Act, Ripple is aiming higher. The company is seeking a federal banking charter through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This would move Ripple from a state-level regulated entity to a federally supervised one.
βWith the passing of the Genius Act, we are also seeking federal regulation through the OCC, with this charter. Our plans are really just to ensure that how we manage and implement our stablecoin RLUSD is to the highest regulatory standards.β
As of now, Ripple is targeting to operate RLUSD at the highest regulatory standards possible. This isnβt about speed or expansion alone; itβs about building something institutions can fully trust.

No HypeβJust Scaling What Works
Interestingly, Ripple isnβt rushing to announce new features or flashy services. Instead, the focus is on steady growth. She explains that the priority right now is to expand RLUSD alongside Rippleβs existing payments business. At the same time, the company is working on integrating its recent acquisitions and making sure everything runs smoothly together.
Why This Charter Actually Matters
The OCC charter isnβt just a regulatory checkbox. According to Long, itβs something the crypto industry has been pushing for years.Β
This level of oversight shows that Ripple is focused on compliance and long-term involvement in the financial system, showing credibility to banks, institutions, and regulators. Thatβs why the response from the industry has reportedly been positive. It adds a layer of legitimacy that crypto companies have often struggled to achieve.
A Breakout Moment for Stablecoins
Zooming out, Rippleβs bigger bet is becoming obvious.
Ripple has already processed over $70 billion and 40 million transactions, but Monica Long says the real growth is still ahead. She sees the next year as a breakout phase for stablecoin payments, with rising market interest and stronger regulation driving faster adoption.
If that happens, RLUSD and Rippleβs infrastructure could move to the center of global payments.
