The post Ripple, Securitize Bring RLUSD to BlackRock and VanEck Funds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ripple and Securitize have partnered to bring Ripple USD (RLUSD) to two of the largest tokenized funds in the market. Holders of BlackRock’s BUIDL and VanEck’s VBILL can now instantly redeem their shares for RLUSD, allowing access to their funds at any time of the day.
