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.
