Ripple News: RLUSD Custody Goes Live at Standard Chartered

In Ripple news today, Standard Chartered launched institutional custody for RLUSD issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) on 12 October 2026, making the service available to eligible clients through its Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) branch, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). Announced in Singapore, the launch is distinct from a planned arrangement with Ripple and LMAX Group to make RLUSD eligible collateral for agreed trading and collateral-management products; that integration is not yet live.
