Ripple has made a strategic investment in Notabene, operator of what it describes as the world's largest open network for regulated on-chain transactions. Deal terms, including valuation and check size, were not disclosed in the announcement.

As part of the partnership, Ripple's USD stablecoin RLUSD will be integrated into Notabene Flow, the firm's B2B stablecoin payments platform. The companies also plan to explore how Notabene's trusted payment authorization stack can complement Ripple Payments for institutional clients.

Notabene's network combines Travel Rule compliance with pre-transaction verification and authorization, allowing institutions to confirm counterparties and transaction details before value moves. The company says its network connects more than 2,300 institutions across 100+ jurisdictions and 280+ customers, including tier-1 banks, custodians, fintechs, and exchanges, and facilitates over $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume.

Through Notabene Flow, the firm is extending this infrastructure to support B2B and agentic stablecoin payment use cases such as pull payments, recurring payments, and automated invoicing. The integration with RLUSD is intended to create a pathway for Ripple's stablecoin to be used across one of the largest institutional digital asset payment networks.

"Stablecoins are quickly becoming part of mainstream financial infrastructure, but institutional adoption depends on more than efficient settlement rails alone," said Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoin at Ripple. "It requires trusted identity, compliance, and transaction authorization before value moves. Notabene's network addresses one of the fundamental barriers to enterprise adoption, and together we're helping build the compliant infrastructure institutions need to move value at global scale while expanding the utility of RLUSD."

The investment comes amid what Ripple characterizes as rising demand for regulated digital asset infrastructure from banks, payment networks, fintechs, and stablecoin consortia launching tokenized cash products. The companies point to regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act in the U.S. and MiCA in the EU as reinforcing institutional momentum for digital assets as core financial infrastructure.

"Every institution I talk to has moved past whether to use stablecoins. They are stuck on how to do it safely at scale within the context of their existing business," said Pelle Braendgaard, Co-Founder and CEO of Notabene. He added that pairing Notabene's network with an enterprise-focused stablecoin like RLUSD and Ripple's reach can help turn compliant stablecoin payments "from a pilot into a real growth engine that reaches more counterparties and moves more volume, faster."

Notabene plans to use Ripple's enterprise ecosystem to accelerate the rollout of Notabene Flow to institutions globally. Strategic partnerships are described as a core pillar of Notabene's go-to-market for Flow, with the company expecting to onboard additional large financial institutions over the coming quarters.
