BREAKING: AMINA Bank Makes History as First Global Institution to Offer RLUSD Trading
Swiss-based AMINA Bank just bulldozed another crypto milestone—becoming the first global bank to list RLUSD trading pairs. Move over, legacy finance.
Why this matters
While traditional banks still treat crypto like a suspicious uncle at Thanksgiving, AMINA’s move legitimizes RLUSD as a tradable asset class. No more OTC whispers—this is on-book institutional adoption.
The cynical take
Let’s see how fast compliance ‘discovers’ KYC requirements once volumes spike. Banking innovation: always one step forward, two compliance audits back.
Active crypto markets don’t wait for permission. AMINA just proved it—while the rest of Wall Street still Googles ‘stablecoin.’

Based on the notice, the bank’s RLUSD service will initially be available for institutional clients, corporations and professional investors. The pro-crypto banking firm said that it has plans to further expand the service in the next few months.
Chief Product Officer of AMINA Bank, Myles Harrison said that this marks the first time a global bank is publicly offering its clients services that allow them to hold and trade the Ripple USD stablecoin directly through their bank accounts.
“Ripple’s commitment to transparency and compliance make them ideal collaborators as we continue our mission to expand institutional-grade digital asset services,” said Harrison in his statement.
The latest MOVE further cements the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority-regulated bank as a crypto-friendly establishment, especially after having similar moves to support digital asset adoption in the past.
Earlier this year, AMINA Bank removed custody fees for USD Coin (USDC) Stablecoin Rewards Account clients. The bank declared it intended to attract more stablecoin users through an offer that WOULD apply for both hot and cold wallet storage. Not only that, AMINA Bank also declared its plans to add support for EURC soon after.
