Ripple and Securitize Launch Game-Changing 24/7 Off-Ramp for BlackRock’s Tokenized Fund

Wall Street meets blockchain in a seismic shift that's turning traditional finance on its head.

Ripple and Securitize just flipped the liquidity switch—launching round-the-clock off-ramp capabilities for BlackRock's landmark tokenized fund. This isn't just another crypto partnership; it's the financial infrastructure upgrade institutions have been desperately needing.

24/7 Markets Aren't Coming—They're Here

Forget waiting for market hours. The new off-ramp shatters the 9-to-5 constraints that have plagued traditional finance for decades. Investors can now move in and out of BlackRock's digital asset fund whenever opportunity strikes—weekends, holidays, 3 AM epiphanies included.

The Institutional On-Ramp Goes Both Ways

This creates the missing piece in the tokenization puzzle. Institutions finally get what crypto natives have enjoyed for years: true liquidity freedom. The move signals that tokenization isn't just about putting old assets on new ledgers—it's about rebuilding financial plumbing from the ground up.

While traditional finance still debates settlement times, this partnership delivers instant liquidity. It's the kind of innovation that makes legacy systems look like they're running on dial-up. Because let's be honest—if your fund can't handle a weekend redemption request, you're basically running a financial museum.

The era of part-time markets is over. Welcome to finance that never sleeps.

Ripple and Securitize enable institutional off-ramp

BlackRock launched the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in March 2024. It surpassed $1 billion in assets within its first year.

VanEck introduced the Treasury Fund (VBILL) in May 2025 on Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana. Ripple said BUIDL redemptions are live, and VBILL will follow in the coming days.

Jack McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice president of stablecoins, said the option to redeem shares for RLUSD is “a natural next step” in bridging traditional finance with crypto.

RLUSD adoption broadens beyond US institutions

Securitize framed the integration as RLUSD’s first use on its regulated platform. The platform manages more than $4 billion in tokenized assets under SEC oversight. Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s chief executive, said the deal enables “real-time settlement and programmable liquidity” across compliant products.

Ripple chose BNY Mellon to hold RLUSD reserves. Issued under a New York Department of Financial Services trust charter, RLUSD is backed one-to-one by cash and Treasurys.

Assets stay segregated and subject to attestations. Analysts note that pairing NYDFS oversight with SEC-linked platforms shows the growing overlap—and at times tension—between state and federal rules in the US.

Very excited to share that @BlackRock’s $BUIDL and @VanEck_US’s $VBILL tokenized fund holders can redeem shares for RLUSD/ETH 24/7 365 through @Securitize, and soon to come RLUSD/XRPL.

Enterprise-grade instant onchain liquidity at your fingertips. That’s real utility.…

Brad Garlinghouse said redemptions now run on Ethereum, with XRP Ledger support expected “soon.”

Ripple launched RLUSD in late 2024. Since then, the stablecoin has passed $700 million in market capitalization. It also joined Ripple’s cross-border payments network and gained traction in decentralized finance pools.

Ripple partnered with DBS and Franklin Templeton in Singapore to add RLUSD to asset management. It expanded access in Africa to support remittances and payments. The firm also planned a 2026 launch in Japan with SBI under Financial Services Agency rules.
