Ripple mentioned that through this deal, the two companies will deliver the most complete stablecoin payment solution available in the market. Currently, Rail manages more than 10% of B2B stablecoin volumes worldwide.

Ripple believes that this acquisition will further strengthen its position as a crypto payment infrastructure leader. With Rail on board, Ripple can now offer virtual account services as well as automated back-office infrastructure that can simplify operations.

The move follows an earlier acquisition earlier in the year, when Ripple bought brokerage firm Hidden Road for USD 1.25 billion. Additionally, the Rail acquisition comes amid Ripple’s efforts to acquire a national banking license.

Even so, this acquisition still requires the fulfillment of transaction closing conditions such as regulatory approval. Ripple expects this process to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

Ripple also highlighted other benefits of the acquisition, including its ability to provide premium crypto liquidity by supporting payments using RLUSD and XRP, alongside other crypto assets. XRP acts as a bridge currency in Ripple’s payment solutions, making this move a big news for the altcoin.
