The XRP Ledger is an open-source, permissionless, decentralized blockchain network that has been focused on efficient payment and settlement scenarios since 2012. It supports the issuance and trading of multiple assets, making it particularly suitable for building stablecoins and payment applications. Recently, an important ecological development has attracted market attention.

XRP Ledger

The latest development In May 2025, the European regulatory financial institution Schuman Financial launched EURØP, a euro stablecoin, on the XRP Ledger. This is the first euro stablecoin that complies with the EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework. The launch of EURØP not only expands the financial applications of the XRP Ledger but also provides more diverse asset options for its cross-border payment scenarios. The introduction of this compliant stablecoin is seen as an important step in XRP Ledger’s strategy to expand into the European market.

Euro stablecoin under MiCA regulation

MiCA regulations provide a unified regulatory standard for the crypto industry, covering key areas such as stablecoin issuance and registration of crypto service providers. The issuance of EURØP complies with these strict requirements, backed by a complete asset reserve mechanism and ensuring fund transparency and security through third-party audits. In addition, this stablecoin also features a real-time redemption mechanism, allowing users to convert EURØP to real euros at a 1:1 ratio, significantly enhancing its utility in payments and settlements.

The impact on the XRP ecosystem

The launch of EURØP significantly enhances the ecological appeal of the XRP Ledger, bringing liquidity of real-world assets to it. For Web3 application developers seeking compliance routes, the XRP Ledger provides a mature and regulatory-compliant technical platform. At the same time, it injects practical value support into XRP itself, helping it to break away from purely speculative logic. Many developers have begun to build DeFi products integrated with EURØP on the XRP Ledger, including stablecoin exchange platforms, cross-border settlement channels, and on-chain lending applications.

Ripple’s strategy and partnerships

Ripple is also actively promoting the compliance process of the XRP Ledger, continuously establishing cooperative relationships with regulatory agencies, banks, and financial technology companies. The issuer of EURØP, Schuman Financial, has a close cooperation with RippleNet to jointly promote the construction of payment networks in the European region. In addition, Ripple has also announced that it will facilitate the launch of at least three compliant stablecoins on the XRP Ledger by the end of 2025, including stablecoins for the US dollar, British pound, and Japanese yen, to build a global compliant stablecoin infrastructure.

Future outlook

With the successful launch of EURØP, more compliant stablecoins based on the XRP Ledger are in preparation. Ripple also stated that it will continue to collaborate with regulatory agencies to advance the innovation of global payment infrastructure. By combining RippleNet’s payment network with stablecoin assets on the XRP Ledger, cross-border payments will become faster, cheaper, and more compliant. In the long run, compliant stablecoins will become an important gateway and core asset for the XRP Ledger, providing strong support for the ecosystem construction and asset value of XRP.

Conclusion

Overall, this trend not only marks the maturity of the XRP technology stack, but also sets an example for the compliance of the entire blockchain industry. With the regulatory environment gradually becoming clearer, the XRP ecosystem will attract more institutional participation, unleashing greater technological and market potential.
