Ripple Signs Robinhood, BNY and C2FO in One Day as RLUSD Moves Into Brokerage, Custody and Trade Finance

Ripple used its Swell conference in New York on Tuesday to announce three partnerships at once. A retail broker, a custody bank and a trade finance platform. Each one puts RLUSD, Ripple’s dollar stablecoin, somewhere it wasn’t before.

The day before, Ripple got final approval from the OCC to set up a national trust bank. That bank will hold RLUSD’s reserves and offer digital asset custody, while issuing the stablecoin stays with Ripple’s New York-regulated company. The timing wasn’t an accident.

Robinhood Crypto Revenue Falls 55% to $120 Million in Q3 2026 as Event Contracts Pull Ahead

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Robinhood made $120 million from crypto in the third quarter of 2026, down 55% from a year earlier. The rest of the company grew. Total net revenue rose 12% to $1.42 billion, and options revenue was up 31% to $399 million, in results Robinhood reported on October 27.

The crypto slump didn’t sink the quarter because something else filled the gap. Event contracts, the prediction markets business, brought in $173 million, more than six times the figure a year ago and $53 million more than crypto. That’s the second quarter in a row. In Q2 event contracts made $156 million while crypto made $100 million.
