Ripple USD’s arrival on Mesh’s expansive crypto payments network signals a powerful step toward mainstream adoption, blending regulatory trust with seamless, stable digital transactions for global commerce.

RLUSD Joins Mesh’s Growing List of Supported Tokens

Mesh, a digital payments and crypto infrastructure provider, announced on Aug. 12, 2025, that it has integrated Ripple USD (RLUSD), the U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin from Ripple, into its payment ecosystem.

“We’re thrilled to officially support Ripple USD (RLUSD), the U.S.-dollar stablecoin issued by Ripple,” the company stated, adding:

Users now have RLUSD as a payment option alongside our 50+ other supported tokens, and merchants can easily accept it at checkout.

RLUSD, launched in 2024, is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and supported by reserves in cash, U.S. government bonds, and other cash-equivalent instruments. Ripple issues RLUSD through a New York limited purpose trust company, and monthly attestations by a licensed certified public accountant (CPA) verify its reserves.

The integration brings RLUSD into Mesh’s network of over 50 digital tokens, expanding payment options for both consumers and businesses. The company added: “With Mesh now supporting RLUSD, users can easily deposit, transfer, and pay using the stablecoin, and merchants can accept it at checkout.” Ripple highlights that RLUSD was built with transparency and compliance at its foundation, drawing on more than a decade of experience in payment security and fintech regulation.

This regulatory alignment, coupled with its reserve structure, sets RLUSD apart from many other stablecoins in circulation.

Market analysts suggest this move could drive adoption of RLUSD, particularly among merchants seeking stable, low-volatility digital payment options amid heightened scrutiny of the stablecoin sector. While critics point to risks such as centralization and reliance on regulatory bodies, supporters counter that such measures offer greater consumer protection and trust compared to algorithmic models. Mesh’s adoption underscores a broader industry trend toward integrating regulated, fiat-backed digital assets into mainstream payment solutions.
