Its platform is projected to handle about 10% of global B2B stablecoin payments in 2025. Backed by Galaxy Ventures and Accomplice, the company raised $10.7 million in a 2024 Series A round, establishing itself as an attractive target for Ripple’s expansion plans. Ripple’s Strategic Direction Ripple has agreed to acquire Rail for $200 million, positioning it to enhance its existing network and support broader stablecoin adoption. This acquisition follows another significant transaction earlier in 2025, when Ripple acquired prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion . Together, these deals reflect Ripple’s push to expand its influence in payment infrastructure and asset liquidity services. However, Ripple’s acquisition of Rail is particularly significant because it supports Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD. By integrating Rail’s infrastructure, Ripple can expand capabilities for USD payments across important payment corridors , while also enabling new third-party payment functions, internal treasury management, and enhanced asset liquidity across multiple digital assets. Why Is This Good for XRP? The integration of Rail into Ripple’s operations carries clear implications for XRP. Ripple’s core mission has always centered on cross-border payments and efficiency. Rail’s technology directly complements this mission, as its infrastructure reduces friction between stablecoins and fiat currencies.
