Ripple Partners with Major Nonprofits for Blockchain-Enabled Aid Delivery
On October 30, 2025, several major nonprofits partnered with Ripple to utilize its blockchain payment platform and RLUSD stablecoin for humanitarian aid. Organizations like World Central Kitchen, Water.org, GiveDirectly, and Mercy Corps aim to enhance funding speed and transparency.
- Ripple Payments and RLUSD facilitate cross-border money transfers without traditional banking systems. This licensed, end-to-end blockchain-powered platform offers digital asset benefits without direct cryptocurrency management.
- World Central Kitchen uses the technology for quick fund disbursement in areas lacking banking infrastructure, aiding communities affected by natural disasters. Payments settle within hours, significantly faster than conventional methods.
- Water.org has successfully piloted Ripple Payments in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru, planning further expansion into Africa and Asia. The system aids in efficiently distributing funds to partners providing water and sanitation loans, benefiting over 81 million people.
- Mercy Corps Ventures tests RLUSD in Kenya to improve crisis aid delivery. GiveDirectly explores similar applications for insurance and cash transfers.
- RLUSD reached a $900 million market cap within a year of launch, supporting 24/7/365 cross-border transactions. This growth aligns with rising institutional XRP adoption, such as Evernorth's recent $1 billion purchase.
