Swiss Bank AMINA Becomes First Global Bank to Offer Custody and Trading for Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin

July 3, 2025 – Swiss crypto-friendly AMINA Bank has become the first globally operating bank to offer custody and trading services for Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, as the adoption of regulated stablecoins continues to gain traction in the financial sector.

AMINA Bank Introduces RLUSD Services for Institutional Clients

AMINA Bank announced it has begun offering custody and trading services for Ripple USD (RLUSD), the newly launched US dollar-pegged stablecoin from Ripple. The service is initially targeted at institutional clients and professional investors seeking regulated stablecoin exposure.

The bank, which operates under the supervision of Swiss financial regulator FINMA, highlighted plans to expand its stablecoin services in the coming months.

Stablecoin Adoption on the Rise

The move by AMINA comes amid accelerating adoption of stablecoins, which have become a $250 billion segment of the crypto market. RLUSD joins a growing list of dollar-backed stablecoins designed for payments, trading, and cross-border settlements.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is backed by US Treasuries and regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, ensuring transparency and compliance.

AMINA Aims to Bridge Traditional and Crypto Finance

AMINA Bank, based in Zug, Switzerland, said its goal is to bridge traditional banking infrastructure with the crypto ecosystem. With regulated hubs in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, AMINA continues to position itself as a key player in offering compliant digital asset services to institutional clients worldwide.

The bank views the integration of RLUSD as part of its broader strategy to provide innovative financial instruments under strong regulatory oversight.
