In a recent tweet, Ripple President Monica Long put the spotlight on positive developments surrounding Ripple USD stablecoin RLUSD.
In the past week, Ripple has secured partnerships beneficial for the RLUSD stablecoin.
Last week we announced DBS and Franklin Templeton using $RLUSD as a liquid, stable and compliant exchange mechanism for tokenized assets in lending and trading use cases. This week, @Securitize added RLUSD as a new offramp for BlackRock and VanEck’s tokenized funds. 📈 https://t.co/3p3CULv15z

Last week, Ripple announced a groundbreaking partnership with DBS and Franklin Templeton that would launch trading and lending solutions powered by tokenized money market funds and Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
Investors will be able to use RLUSD to trade for Franklin Templeton’s money market fund, sgBENJI, earn yield and open new liquidity venues.
Now, in the most recent move, Ripple — in partnership with Securitize, a platform for tokenizing real-world assets — announced today a smart contract that would allow holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL to exchange their shares to Ripple for Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin. This smart contract adds an additional stablecoin off ramp for BUIDL and VBILL tokenized short term treasury funds.

The integration is starting with ETH, though Securitize is planning to integrate with the XRP Ledger."
