Major push toward institutional tokenization: Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin now powers BlackRock's BUIDL and VanEck's VBILL funds through a newly activated smart contract layer. This unlock signals stronger interoperability across tokenized asset platforms—institutions can now settle these fund shares on Ripple's infrastructure with minimal friction. The move reflects how major asset managers are betting on stablecoin rails for next-gen fund distribution, moving beyond experimental pilots into actual production use. RLUSD gain traction as the settlement backbone for billion-dollar-scale fund tokenization projects.

From a technical perspective, RLUSD has truly stepped out of the sandbox this time. Data shows how much of the throughput bottleneck at this settlement layer can be addressed. It is worth noting that the entry of institutions like BlackRock and VanEck is not hype; it involves real and substantial capital. Overall, the trillion-dollar-level assets going on-chain still depend on how stable the settlement layer is.

RLUSD is really about to take off. BlackRock and VanEck are using it together, now the institutions are truly here.

NGL, Ripple's move is quite aggressive, directly bringing the big boys on board... BlackRock and Vaneck, these giants, are settling with RUSD, it seems like tokenization is really coming this time.
