Ripple has announced a strategic partnership with Arf, a payments firm with $10 billion in assets under management, to enhance the use of its stablecoin RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

The collaboration aims to leverage Arf's expertise in liquidity management to support RLUSD's integration into the XRPL ecosystem, focusing on providing short-term financing solutions.
