Cross-border settlement platform Arf has partnered with Ripple to introduce settlement liquidity powered by Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin to the XRP Ledger, according to reports from CoinDesk and BSCN. The initiative is designed to grant licensed global payment companies and money transfer operators access to short-duration working capital.[1][3][6]

Under the collaboration, Arf uses programmatic settlement credit to provide one- to five-day working capital loans in RLUSD, helping payment firms fund transactions and free up cash while waiting for settlements that typically take one to five days to complete. Arf stated that the liquidity is supported by its approximately $10 billion in annual global settlement volume.[1][3][4][5][6][7]

The integration aims to promote capital efficiency for institutional cross-border remitters. Arf also plans to expand its offering into native XRP Ledger lending once that protocol launches.[2][3][6]
