A Year of Momentum for On-Chain Payments
Five years ago, the stablecoin payments landscape was non-existent. Now, it’s a mainstream conversation in traditional and crypto-native finance circles alike. Bitwave and Ripple share a unique partnership at the heart of these conversations, working together to reshape how enterprises move money globally.
From our joint happy hour at Money 20/20 to our shared stage at the Enterprise Digital Asset Summit (EDAS), we’ve been showcasing what’s possible when trusted enterprise-grade infrastructure meets real-world utility.
The latest milestone is a long time coming: Bitwave Payments now supports Ripple’s RLUSD, unlocking new on-chain payment rails for global businesses.
Here’s a recap of all the ways Bitwave and Ripple are making waves in the digital asset finance industry together.
Stablecoin Payments House at Consensus 2025
Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple, joined the Bitwave and Aleo Stablecoin Payments House at Consensus 2025 to share more about Ripple’s strategic move into stablecoins, real-world use cases driving adoption, and how RLUSD (Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin) is shaping the future of payments and capital markets.

EDAS 2025: Announcing RLUSD Support in Bitwave
During our B2B Payments and Stablecoins panel at EDAS, Bitwave CEO Pat White announced support for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on ETH Mainnet within Bitwave Payments — allowing businesses to send, receive, and settle RLUSD directly in the platform.
This partnership bridges enterprise-ready compliance and the liquidity of Ripple’s XRPL ecosystem, enabling seamless fiat-to-crypto-to-fiat payments — or stablecoin-to-stablecoin — across global operations.
“Stablecoins have really blown the doors open on crypto-based payments,” said Ripple’s Hope Chapman, Director of Payments Product, during the session. “We’re seeing broad traction from enterprises using them for treasury, settlement, and cross-border transactions. It’s exciting to see Bitwave helping bring those benefits to more companies.”
Ripple’s Vision for Regulated, Real-World Payments
Ripple has long been a pioneer in real-world blockchain applications. At EDAS, Hope Chapman highlighted the path toward regulated, trusted, and liquid stablecoins, predicting an eventual consolidation around high-quality issuers.
Ripple’s approach — leveraging the XRPL for instant, compliant value transfer — aligns closely with Bitwave’s mission to make digital asset accounting, payments, and reporting simple for enterprises. Together, we’re turning the vision of global blockchain payments into operational reality.
Bitwave Payments + Ripple = Enterprise Readiness
Bitwave Payments enables companies to transact in digital assets while maintaining full accounting and compliance visibility. Integrating RLUSD adds another layer of optionality for CFOs and treasury teams looking to streamline on-chain transactions.
“The goal is seamlessness,” Pat White said during the panel. “When every leg of a payment — stablecoin, fiat, or digital asset — just works together, that’s when crypto payments become enterprise-grade.”
From EDAS to Money 20/20 — Real Collaboration in Action
Two weeks after the on-stage announcement, Bitwave and Ripple reunited at Money 20/20 to co-sponsor a joint happy hour at the Cosmopolitan — a perfect extension of the momentum from EDAS.
Behind the scenes, Bitwave actually paid its event co-sponsorship fee to Ripple in RLUSD, marking one of the first real-world B2B payments between enterprise partners using Ripple’s new stablecoin.
It was a fitting way to celebrate what both companies are building together — a future where stablecoin-powered payments move as seamlessly as information.
What’s Next
Together, Bitwave and Ripple are redefining enterprise blockchain adoption — from regulatory-ready stablecoin infrastructure to the operational tools that make it practical for finance teams.
Stay tuned for more integrations and joint initiatives as we continue to expand the possibilities of real-time, global, on-chain payments.
