Bitstamp and Ripple already have a two-way trading relationship. Ripple Prime provides lending and margin financing across roughly 20 digital assets to Bitstamp, while Prime clients can trade spot on the exchange. Support for Bitstamp perpetual futures through Prime is planned for later in 2026.

Their October 27 announcement adds another role for RLUSD: Robinhood plans to use the stablecoin on the XRP Ledger to settle transactions across Bitstamp’s institutional business. That would put RLUSD inside the exchange’s institutional operations, alongside its availability on trading platforms.

According to Ripple, RLUSD is already live on Bitstamp by Robinhood and Robinhood Chain. The Robinhood retail app is expected to follow later this year; the announcement gives no specific launch date or customer eligibility schedule.
