Ripple has launched an interactive demo of its new payments platform, showcasing the combined use of its forthcoming RLUSD stablecoin and XRP. The system positions RLUSD as the asset for value transfer, while leveraging XRP as a bridge currency to source instant liquidity, thereby reducing transaction costs and settlement times.

This initiative highlights Ripple's strategy to deepen its enterprise offerings by providing a solution for historically slow and expensive cross-border payments. By integrating a native stablecoin, Ripple aims to compete more directly with other stablecoin issuers and traditional financial systems.

The move signals a broader industry trend of building comprehensive payment ecosystems around native assets to capture a greater share of the corporate and B2B payments market.
