Ripple Wins Final US Approval to Launch National Trust Bank for RLUSD Stablecoin
Current overview (not historical)
Ripple has secured final U.S. approval to establish Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB) under federal supervision, specifically to manage reserves backing the RLUSD stablecoin and provide custodial services to institutional clients. A key structural condition reserves management and custody under federal oversight, while RLUSD issuance remains with Ripple's New York-regulated entity, Standard Custody & Trust Company. The bank charter explicitly covers reserves behind its $2.5 billion RLUSD stablecoin but explicitly assigns XRP no role. Reports from Cointelegraph and The Block confirm the OCC approval, while BeInCrypto noted the charter's specific coverage of RLUSD reserves and exclusion of XRP.
