Ripple's collaboration with Mastercard and WebBank is driving increased demand for XRP, according to Amplify ETFs. The pilot program, launched on November 6, 2025, utilizes RLUSD on the XRP Ledger to facilitate credit card payment settlements. This initiative, backed by WebBank, aligns with U.S. financial standards and positions XRP as a key component in securing the network and managing transaction fees. The program is expected to enhance XRP demand through higher transaction volumes. The project aims to foster ecosystem growth by providing a regulated blockchain solution for fiat settlements. Ripple's recent $500 million funding round, valuing the company at $40 billion, underscores strong institutional confidence in its blockchain solutions.
