XRP-Linked Company Lands First European Bank Client for Payments

2025/12/13 00:20

Ripple has secured its first European bank customer for its licensed payments stack, with Switzerland-based AMINA Bank adopting Ripple Payments to support near-real-time cross-border transfers for crypto-native clients, per a Friday release from the company.

AMINA, a FINMA-regulated digital asset bank, will use Ripple’s payments infrastructure to bridge traditional banking rails with blockchain-based settlement, a longstanding operational challenge for institutions servicing stablecoin issuers, crypto firms and tokenized asset platforms.

The move signals a shift in how regulated banks are approaching crypto payments as an integrated business line — infrastructure that needs to work directly with fiat systems.

Ripple Payments is an end-to-end platform that combines messaging, liquidity sourcing and settlement across both fiat and blockchain rails.

Unlike correspondent banking networks, which rely on multiple intermediaries and batch settlement, Ripple’s system allows banks to move value directly, often settling transactions within minutes.

In practical terms, this means AMINA can process cross-border flows involving fiat currencies and stablecoins, including Ripple’s own RLUSD, without routing payments through multiple correspondent banks or relying on delayed clearing cycles.

A key distinction is that Ripple Payments is licensed in multiple jurisdictions, allowing banks to integrate blockchain settlement without stepping outside regulatory frameworks.

For AMINA, this provides a compliant way to serve clients that operate natively on-chain but still require access to traditional banking services such as treasury management and fiat liquidity.

Earlier this year, AMINA became the first bank globally to support Ripple’s U.S. dollar stablecoin, RLUSD, by offering custody and trading services. The payments integration extends that relationship from asset support into transaction execution.

In effect, AMINA is using Ripple’s infrastructure as a connective layer between regulated banking systems and on-chain settlement, a model increasingly favored by institutions exploring tokenized assets, stablecoin issuance and cross-border treasury operations.

The partnership potentially strengthens Ripple’s positioning in Europe at a time when regulatory clarity is pushing banks to move from experimentation to production-grade blockchain use cases.

The company said in the release that its payments network now covers over 90% of global FX markets by volume, processing more than $95 billion in transactions.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
