Ripple Targets $900 Million in Annualized Revenue as Institutional Adoption Triples
Ripple expects to reach a $900 million annualized product revenue run rate by the end of 2026, citing a threefold increase in adoption among customers and partners using its products this year. The company is expanding its financial services across payments, According to the company’s announcement, digital asset custody, stablecoins, treasury management and institutional trading.
Ripple said its products facilitated more than $16 trillion in transactions during 2025, serving 1,700 institutions and businesses across 85 licensed jurisdictions. The company is positioning its services as an integrated infrastructure network connecting traditional financial operations with blockchain-based assets and settlement systems.
Ripple Payments and RLUSD Expand Their Reach
Ripple Payments is approaching $150 billion in cumulative transaction volume, with its services reaching more than 60 payout markets. Its institutional network includes DBS, HSBC, Standard Chartered and FirstRand Bank, supporting cross-border payments and digital asset management.
Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has reached a market capitalization of $2.6 billion, representing growth of more than 88% this year. The company uses the stablecoin to support payments, liquidity and settlement across its product ecosystem. RLUSD is available on exchanges and trading platforms including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Robinhood and OKX.
Partnerships with Mastercard and Cross River are extending RLUSD's potential applications in payment settlement and banking infrastructure. Ripple has also secured final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish Ripple National Trust Bank, adding a regulated banking component to its financial services strategy.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has described the company's broader objective as connecting traditional financial markets with blockchain infrastructure. He highlighted the shift toward continuous settlement and tokenized financial assets.
"Settlement is moving to real-time, 24/7, and tokenized assets can be traded, financed and used as collateral," Garlinghouse stated.
Ripple Prime and Treasury Services Support Growth
Ripple Prime serves institutional clients with financing, clearing and settlement across equities, foreign exchange, futures, fixed income and digital assets. Its trading relationships include Jump Trading, Virtu, Kalshi and Hyperliquid, giving institutional participants access to a range of financial markets.
Ripple Treasury serves more than 1,000 customers in 160 countries, including American Airlines and Trax. Its platform combines cash forecasting, liquidity management and payments, while its 24/7 Returns service supports corporate cash deployment.
Ripple is also promoting the use of RLUSD and tokenized money market funds to help businesses manage operating liquidity beyond conventional banking hours. Its tokenized finance initiatives include work involving BNY and C2FO, while projects connected to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) involve Aviva Investors and Franklin Templeton.
Ripple's $900 Million Revenue Target Remains a Projection
Ripple's year-end target refers to annualized product revenue, not confirmed revenue earned over the full 2026 calendar year. The distinction means the $900 million figure represents the company's expected revenue run rate as it exits the year rather than a finalized annual revenue result.
The target reflects Ripple's reported expansion across payments, stablecoins, institutional trading and treasury management. Whether the company reaches that level will depend on its performance as it continues developing adoption across these financial services.
