DriveWealth, the brokerage infrastructure behind investing products offered by more than 100 partners, will settle client funds in Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, starting in Europe. Clients can fund collateral accounts with stablecoins that convert to cash almost at once instead of waiting for bank wires.

## Key facts

- The deal was announced on 14 October 2026; no financial terms, transaction volumes or go-live date were disclosed.
- Ripple Payments will carry cross-border funds from DriveWealth's global partners, and digital asset custody in Europe is planned with other regions to follow.
- Equity financing through Ripple Prime's Delta One unit is still under discussion, not agreed.
- DriveWealth intends to bring stablecoin settlement to the US, but has given no timeline.
