- Ripple partnered with Securitize to let investors redeem BlackRock BUIDL and VanEck VBILL fund shares directly into RLUSD stablecoin.
- This gives investors 24/7 access to their funds without waiting for traditional redemption processes.
Ripple has revealed a strategic collaboration with Securitize, enabling investors to redeem shares from two big tokenized funds directly into Ripple USD (RLUSD). This combination will provide holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL with 24/7 access to immediate redemptions.
The partnership is the first instance in which RLUSD is incorporated into the tokenization platform of Securitize. The investors are now able to redeem their shares in the tokenized funds to RLUSD at any point without undergoing the traditional redemption procedures.
BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) already has the new redemption feature. VanEck’s Treasury Fund (VBILL) is set to have the same functionality in a few days. The two are tokenized short-term treasury products created on the public blockchain.
We’re partnering with @Ripple to enable RLUSD transfers for @Blackrock’s BUIDL and @vaneck_us’s VBILL tokenized funds.

Traditional Finance Meets Digital Assets Through Real-Time Settlement
The collaboration brings together traditional financial products and digital asset technology. Programmable settlement systems provide investors with instant access to their funds. This nullifies delays that are normally related to the old process of fund redemption.
BUIDL and VBILL are some of the largest tokenized funds already present in the market. These products represent early adoption of blockchain technology by established asset management firms. The tokenization offers institutional investors the ability to exit their investments flexibly.
According to Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, VBILL has a total of $74 million of assets under management. The fund will be used to fund the RLUSD minting and redemption on Ethereum. VanEck intends to provide services to more networks such as Solana, Avalanche, and BNB Chain.
We Are Expanding VBILL (AUM=$74M) to Support RLUSD Mint/Redeem (on ETH to start).

Ripple Senior Vice President of Stablecoins Jack McDonald said the integration was a logical next step towards RLUSD adoption. The stablecoin also aims at the large corporations by providing compliance with regulations and value stability. Collaborations with platforms such as Securitize increase liquidity and enterprise applications.
RLUSD Market Position Strengthens Through Institutional Partnerships
Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize, Carlos Domingo described the collaboration as a breakthrough to tokenized finance. The integration allows real-time settlement and programmable liquidity across on-chain investment products which are compliant.
RLUSD maintains full backing by U.S. dollar liquid assets through regulated reserve management. The reserves of the stablecoin are verified regularly by independent external auditors. The token runs on a charter by the New York Department of Financial Services Trust Company.
RLUSD has been steadily growing since its launch in late 2024, even across decentralized finance platforms. The stablecoin is part of Ripple’s cross-border payment solutions, and it has already passed the benchmark of $700 million market capitalization.
In a previous article, we discussed the most recent collaborations with DBS and Franklin Templeton, which have increased trading and lending services supported by RLUSD.
