Ripple leads $48M funding round for Velocity to boost stablecoin payment infrastructure.

Ripple has contributed $10 million to extend Velocity's funding round to $48 million, valuing the fintech at around $200 million. Velocity develops technology that connects traditional finance with stablecoin payment systems to enable faster, more efficient settlements, including outside banking hours. This investment supports Ripple's broader strategy to expand its stablecoin and payment infrastructure presence, following its launch of RLUSD and acquisition of Rail. The move highlights growing institutional interest in integrating blockchain-based settlement solutions with mainstream financial networks.

While Ripple has invested $10 million in Velocity's $48 million funding round to boost blockchain payment infrastructure, XRP on Pluang trades at Rp23.306, down 10.62% in one day as of Sep 16, 2026 02:11 WIB. This contrasts with Ripple's broader strategic moves, as XRP's market cap stands at Rp1.556 trillion with a high 24-hour volume of Rp89.64 trillion, showing active trading despite the price drop. The circulating supply is 63% of the total XRP, and most Pluang users are selling (71%) rather than buying (29%), holding their XRP for an average of 71 days.
