Ripple USD is officially integrated into the Mesh payment network with over 50 tokens, enhancing digital payment capabilities for global enterprises.
The payment infrastructure provider Mesh has announced on 12/08/2025 the integration of Ripple USD (RLUSD) into its payment ecosystem, marking an important step in expanding access to tightly managed stablecoin. This move allows users to use RLUSD as a payment method alongside the platform's existing portfolio of over 50 tokens.
RLUSD, launched by Ripple in 2024, operates on a 1:1 Peg mechanism with the US dollar and is backed by reserves including cash, US government bonds, and other cash-equivalent instruments. This stablecoin is issued through a specialized trust company in New York, with reserve audits conducted monthly by licensed certified accountants.
Enhancing Payment Flexibility
The integration of RLUSD brings dual benefits to the Mesh ecosystem. Consumers can perform deposit transactions, transfers, and payments seamlessly, while merchants are equipped with the ability to accept RLUSD payments at point of sale. This expansion reflects Mesh's strategy of diversifying digital payment options to meet growing demands from the business market.
Market analysts note that Mesh's adoption of RLUSD could significantly boost the acceptance of this stablecoin, especially in a context where merchants seek stable, low-volatility payment solutions. RLUSD's strict legal compliance structure, built on Ripple's more than a decade of experience in payments and fintech, creates a competitive advantage over other stablecoins in the market.
However, some criticisms persist around concerns about centralization and regulatory dependence. Supporters counter that these compliance measures actually provide higher levels of protection and consumer trust, distinctly different from uncollateralized Algorithmic Stablecoin models.
Mesh's move reflects a broader industry trend of integrating fiat-backed digital assets into mass payment solutions, signaling the maturation of the stablecoin market towards higher compliance standards.
