Original Link: https://yellow.com/es/news/ripple-compromete-150-millones-de-dólares-mientras-lmax-integra-rlusd-en-su-plataforma-de-trading-de-82-billones-de-dólares Ripple committed 150 million dollars in funding to LMAX Group as part of a multi-year partnership that integrates the company’s RLUSD stablecoin into one of the world’s largest institutional trading markets.

The announced agreement positions RLUSD as a central collateral for banks, brokers, and institutional managers trading spot cryptocurrencies, perpetual futures, and CFDs on the LMAX platform.

LMAX Group, which processed 8.2 trillion dollars in institutional trading volumes in 2025, will enable clients to use RLUSD for margin financing and asset-to-asset settlement 24/7, something not available with traditional fiat currencies.

What Ripple Gains

The partnership provides RLUSD — launched in December 2024 — direct access to LMAX’s global client base in major trading centers in London, New York, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Currently, RLUSD ranks among the top 10 dollar-pegged stablecoins, with approximately 1.3 billion dollars in market capitalization.

The stablecoin will be available through LMAX Custody via segregated wallets, allowing institutions to move collateral between traditional and digital asset classes.

LMAX CEO David Mercer noted that increasing regulatory clarity in the United States and worldwide is driving institutional adoption of fiat-backed stablecoins for cross-border settlement and greater margin efficiency.

Infrastructure Integration

The collaboration connects LMAX Digital’s trading infrastructure with Ripple Prime, the company’s multi-asset brokerage service for institutional clients.

Ripple Prime clients can now access LMAX’s liquidity and price discovery mechanisms to securely trade and custody digital assets.

Jack McDonald, Senior Vice President of Stablecoins at Ripple, stated that institutions increasingly recognize the potential of blockchain technology to modernize the structure of financial markets.

The funding agreement underscores Ripple’s push to accelerate convergence between traditional finance and digital asset markets through a compliant infrastructure.

Ripple holds over 75 regulatory licenses worldwide and operates under the supervision of the New York Department of Financial Services for the issuance of RLUSD.

Initially, LMAX listed RLUSD on its institutional trading platform in 2025 before expanding the integration across its entire product range.

Ripple's move this time is truly playing chess. LMAX taking over RLUSD shows confidence in this game. --- 150 million USD, just like that—this is real faith. --- That 82 trillion market cap of LMAX... if RLUSD is really used, how amazing would that be? --- The story of XRP is not over yet, stay tuned. --- With so much money pouring into RLUSD, no one can hide in the compliant stablecoin track.

Wow, Ripple is throwing money around again. Are they really planning to go big this time? LMAX is adopting RLUSD. This move is quite interesting... 15 billion sounds impressive, but I’m not sure how long it can last. Why does it feel like stablecoins are getting more and more competitive? Can this really shake up USDT’s position? I have my doubts. Another wave of hype cycle? Ripple always loves to make big moves... Honestly, I’m not very optimistic about this partnership. In the crypto world, it’s really a case of many people with money but few with brains. Will RLUSD turn things around? Not sure.
