The company disclosed the figures in March 2026 while highlighting infrastructure supporting 51 real-time payment rails and its stablecoin RLUSD.

Global Payment Network Scale

Ripple stated that its payments platform now operates across more than 60 markets worldwide. The network relies on 51 real-time payment rails to process cross-border transactions. According to Ripple, the platform has processed over $100 billion in payment volume so far.

Additionally, the Rail infrastructure contributes roughly $10 billion in annual payment volume. Ripple also maintains more than 75 regulatory licenses across key financial jurisdictions.

Platform Combines Fiat and Digital Assets

Ripple Payments allows companies to collect, hold, exchange, and send value using multiple asset types. The system supports fiat currencies, stablecoins, and other digital assets. Businesses can collect payments globally and convert funds automatically into their preferred currency.

According to Ripple, the platform also allows companies to settle funds into unified accounts. Users can hold balances in virtual accounts and digital wallets linked to the platform. Both fiat and stablecoin balances appear in a consolidated dashboard.

In addition, companies can exchange assets instantly through liquidity pools and Ripple’s over-the-counter desk. Transactions operate continuously throughout the year.

RLUSD and Enterprise Use Cases

Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD surpassed a $1 billion market capitalization within a year of launch. The asset supports settlement and liquidity across the payments platform. Several companies already use the infrastructure for global transactions.
