Ripple partners with AMINA Bank to expand in Europe

Ripple has partnered with Swiss-based AMINA Bank, regulated by FINMA, to offer custody and trading of its RLUSD stablecoin, establishing a compliant presence in Europe.

RLUSD has already secured approval from major regulators, including the New York Department of Financial Services and the Dubai Financial Services Authority.

Ripple is integrating the asset into its recently acquired prime brokerage platform, Hidden Road. It is also using RLUSD across the Ripple Payments platform for enterprise cross-border transactions.

AMINA cited Ripple’s transparent structure and regulatory commitment as key factors in the partnership. The bank, formerly SEBA Bank, has been a leader in regulated digital asset services since 2019. Its collaboration with Taurus, a Deutsche Bank-backed firm, further strengthens its position in digital finance.

Ripple is positioning RLUSD as a compliant alternative within Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape under MiCA. The Swiss partnership supports RLUSD’s long-term growth by offering legal clarity, regulated access, and a path toward broader liquidity across the continent.
