Ripple Expands U.S. Presence with Key Licenses

Ripple has secured Money Transmitter Licenses in New York and Texas, expanding its U.S. presence as part of broader efforts under a more crypto-friendly regulatory landscape.

These licenses allow Ripple to offer its licensed cross-border payment solutions, responding to growing demand from financial institutions and crypto businesses.

With over 55 global MTLs, Ripple continues to strengthen its regulatory footprint, holding key approvals in regions like Singapore, Ireland, and Dubai.

The expansion aligns with shifting U.S. policies under the Trump administration, including the SEC’s recent move to allow banks to custody digital assets.

Ripple anticipates this regulatory shift will accelerate crypto adoption. However, the company still faces legal uncertainties due to the SEC’s ongoing lawsuit over XRP, despite partial legal victories in 2023.

Ripple reported $70 billion in payment volume across 90 markets last year, with its payments business doubling and new U.S. clients joining its network. The launch of its RLUSD stablecoin, approved in New York, further cements Ripple’s position as a leader in digital payments. With 75% of new roles now U.S.-based, Ripple is ramping up domestic operations, signaling confidence in the evolving crypto landscape.
