Notabene receives strategic investment from Ripple, plans RLUSD integration

Ripple is backing Notabene as RLUSD joins Notabene Flow, while Ripple also launches RLUSD minting infrastructure and expands the stablecoin across additional networks amid softer monthly transfer activity.

Fact Check
The official Notabene press release and its PR Newswire distribution (both July 23, 2026) confirm all elements of the claim: Ripple made a strategic investment, RLUSD will be integrated into Notabene's Flow institutional payments platform, and the network connects more than 2,300 financial institutions across over 100 jurisdictions with over $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume. Independent corroboration from citybiz aligns. The only minor imprecision is that the claim frames the metrics as describing Flow specifically, whereas the sources attribute them to Notabene's broader network, but the numeric figures are exactly correct.

Summary

Notabene said it received a strategic investment from Ripple, with the amount undisclosed, and plans to integrate Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD into Notabene Flow, its B2B stablecoin payments platform. The companies also said they will explore how Notabene’s transaction authorization and compliance infrastructure can complement Ripple Payments. Separately, Ripple launched Ripple Mint, an institutional platform for creating, redeeming, bridging and tracking RLUSD, while extending the stablecoin beyond the XRP Ledger and Ethereum to the XRPL EVM sidechain, Base, Optimism, Ink and Unichain. The moves expand RLUSD’s enterprise and regulated-market infrastructure even as monthly transfer volume fell about 25% to roughly $11 billion over 30 days and market capitalization slipped almost 5%, while holder growth and active addresses increased.
