Trident Digital Tech Holdings and Ripple Strategy Holding have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to launch a blockchain-based tax settlement system in Africa, support cross-border payments, and plan to begin a stablecoin business pilot in 2026.

Trident Digital Tech Holdings has partnered with Ripple Strategy Holding. Ripple will provide stablecoin technology to support Trident’s expansion across Africa. It plans to build a blockchain tax system for 2.1 million small and mid-sized businesses in Ghana, and to set up an RLUSD/GHS liquidity pool to enable low-cost cross-border payments.

Ripple expects on-chain stablecoin trading volume to reach $330k at the Tokyo XRP Conference, emphasizing that stablecoins are evolving from auxiliary tools into liquidity infrastructure. As a bridge connecting traditional and digital finance, Ripple is helping bring stablecoins such as RLUSD to market and accelerating institutional adoption. With Japan’s regulatory environment being clear, it plays a key role in promoting the growth of the XRP ecosystem. If stablecoins achieve high trading volumes, it will change the way capital flows and how cross-border payments operate; XRP’s future price action will depend on institutional adoption and the growth of real trading demand.

Web3 asset data platform RootData recently mapped out 16 of Ripple’s Web3 partners, covering key areas such as RWA tokenization, RLUSD stablecoin distribution, and ODL payments. It emphasized prioritizing real-world use cases and efficiency, while traditional partners focus on increasing ODL trading volume and compliance.

On March 31, a leading Web3 wallet announced its integration with the XRP Ledger. Users can transfer XRP and RLUSD and complete cross-chain transactions within the wallet, while also supporting RLUSD deposits and withdrawals, and driving the use of stablecoins in everyday payments. The Ripple Foundation plans to jointly launch an incentive program to promote the use of RLUSD.

On March 30, 2026, the price of XRP rebounded over 3%, returning to the range of $1.33 to $1.35, influenced by positive statements from Ripple's CEO. The market demand for compliant stablecoins has increased, with RLUSD's market capitalization surpassing $1.5 billion. Analysts believe that XRP needs to break through $1.40 to open up upward potential, and price movements will be affected by capital flows and policy developments.

Ripple announced on March 25 that it has joined the BLOOM project, led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, to explore programmable cross-border trade settlement solutions based on the RLUSD stablecoin and XRP Ledger. In collaboration with Unloq, Ripple is piloting automated trade finance and payment mechanisms aimed at enhancing transaction transparency and improving access to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises.

BlockBeats News: On March 25, according to CoinDesk, Ripple is piloting its RLUSD stablecoin in the Monetary Authority of Singapore's BLOOM sandbox. The pilot is being conducted in collaboration with supply chain company Unloq and will test automated cross-border trade payments triggered by cargo verification on the XRP Ledger.

Ripple announced its participation in the Monetary Authority of Singapore's BLOOM program, where it will test an automated cross-border trade finance settlement solution powered by stablecoin RLUSD within a regulatory sandbox.
