Ripple’s RLUSD becomes new off-ramp for BlackRock and VanEck tokenized funds
Ripple has partnered with Securitize to integrate the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin as an off-ramp for tokenized funds by BlackRock and VanEck. This new integration allows investors in BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and VanEck’s Treasury Fund (VBILL) to exchange their tokenized shares for RLUSD, facilitating quicker on-chain transfers. According to Securitize co-founder Carlos Domingo, this partnership marks a significant advancement in automating liquidity for tokenized assets. Launched in early 2025, RLUSD is intended for institutional use and has received approvals for asset tokenization by various global authorities. As of September 2025, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are estimated to be valued at $30.3 billion, with Securitize’s platform alone accumulating around $4 billion in tokenized assets. BlackRock’s BUIDL, established in March 2024, has reached $1 billion in assets under management within a year, while VanEck’s VBILL, launched in May 2025, offers exposure to tokenized US Treasury-backed assets. This move represents a vital step in bridging traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem.
