TREE NEWS update: Standard Chartered has launched custody for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger and plans to let institutions use the tokens as trading collateral. The bank said it is also eyeing a collateral deal with LMAX. The move extends Standard Chartered’s digital-asset custody business to Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin.
Standard Chartered Launches RLUSD Custody on XRP Ledger
A global bank extending custody to a dollar stablecoin on a public ledger signals that institutional infrastructure is being built around tokens rather than trading desks. The collateral angle matters most: if RLUSD becomes usable as margin, it shifts stablecoins from settlement tools toward balance-sheet instruments, which is where regulatory and accounting scrutiny intensifies. The LMAX talks are the thread to watch, since venue-level acceptance would test whether this stays a custody story or becomes a market-structure one.
