Ripple has announced a significant expansion of its enterprise payment solution, Ripple Payments.
The company announced that it offers an end-to-end stablecoin infrastructure by integrating custody, virtual accounts, and a combined fiat + stablecoin payment channel into the platform. According to Ripple, the platform is currently active in more than 60 markets and has processed over $100 billion in transaction volume to date.
The company claimed to offer a licensed and institutionally standardized infrastructure that unites traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem under one roof. The statement noted that at a time when financial institutions are racing to implement stablecoin payments, Ripple stands out with its broad regulatory coverage, global network, and new product features.

- It can collect payments in fiat currency and stablecoins.
- They can store assets securely,
- It can perform currency/stablecoin conversions.
- Funds can be transferred to operational accounts through a single platform.
Additionally, named virtual accounts and wallets can be created, collection flows can be automated, and funds can be consolidated into a single account. Ripple President Monica Long stated that digital assets should be treated with the same seriousness as traditional finance, emphasizing that institutional-level infrastructure, licensing, and deep liquidity are critical in this area.
What are the New Features?
Managed Custody: Provides a secure and scalable wallet infrastructure for institutional clients. Enables high-speed transaction signing and automated transfer of funds to operational accounts.
Unified Collection: Businesses can accept fiat and stablecoin payments through named virtual accounts. Automated conversion and reconciliation processes are consolidated into a single account.
