Ripple’s Institutional Stack | RLUSD, Prime, Custody & The Infrastructure Behind Tokenized Finance

Ripple has spent years building something most people never see — an institutional engine designed for custody, settlement, liquidity, and tokenized finance. This episode breaks down that system: RLUSD as the on-ledger cash leg, Ripple Prime as the execution and liquidity gateway, Metaco and Standard Custody as the institutional vault, and GTreasury as the bridge into corporate finance. We also look at how compliance tools, wallet frameworks, and XRPL’s evolving standards tie these pieces together into a unified architecture.

This is Part 4 of my five-part series: XRP’s Institutional Era — ETFs, Liquidity & Tokenized Finance.
