Exodus Movement, which develops self-custodial financial software that allows users to manage, swap, and store digital assets, has expanded its wallet to include deeper native integration with the $XRP Ledger (XRPL), enhancing support for $XRP, XRPL’s native asset, according to a press release published on Thursday.
The rollout adds functionality for sending and managing $XRP directly within Exodus and introduces upcoming support for Ripple USD ($RLUSD) through a partnership with Ripple.
$RLUSD is a regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoin designed with an emphasis on transparency and real-world financial utility. Since its debut in late 2024, its market capitalization has climbed to roughly $1.5 billion, per CoinGecko.
$XRP continues to be a top asset in Exodus by user engagement and swap volume, and the integration responds to rising demand for native XRPL capabilities, the team states. It also establishes a foundation for expanding support for additional assets issued on the XRPL network.
Exodus CEO JP Richardson said the expansion improves the everyday usability of $XRP while preserving self-custody and the simplicity of the wallet experience.
“Expanding XRPL support means more ways to use $XRP without sacrificing self-custody or the simplicity of the Exodus experience,” Richardson noted. “$XRP is already a top asset in our wallet, and partnering with Ripple is a natural next step in making it easier to use every day.”
Ripple executive Lauren Berta stated that open financial systems should give users greater control, and noted that $RLUSD provides more flexibility in how value is stored and transferred.
Exodus and XRPL intend to deepen their collaboration to make XRPL and $RLUSD more accessible.
