Exodus, a leading non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, has officially expanded its support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL), integrating native functionality directly into its platform. The update, announced in collaboration with Ripple, allows users to manage and send XRP natively within the Exodus interface, moving beyond simple asset storage to full ecosystem interaction.
The integration also introduces in-wallet support for Ripple USD (RLUSD), Ripple's enterprise-grade, US dollar-pegged stablecoin. RLUSD, which launched in late 2024 and has a market value near $1.5 billion, is designed with regulatory compliance and transparency as core features. Lauren Berta, Stablecoin Product Lead at Ripple, emphasized that "RLUSD provides more flexibility in how value is stored and transferred," aligning with the wallet's focus on self-custody.
Exodus CEO and Co-founder JP Richardson confirmed that XRP is already a top asset by swap volume on the wallet. "Expanding XRPL support means more ways to use XRP without sacrificing self-custody," Richardson stated, highlighting the goal of simplifying everyday XRP use. The native tools remove the need for third-party platforms when managing XRP transactions.
Both companies confirmed plans to continue expanding XRPL and RLUSD support over time, setting a foundation for future XRPL-issued assets within the Exodus wallet. The partnership aims to combine simple use, self-custody, and direct support in a single platform.
Concurrently, XRP's price showed positive momentum, trading at $1.43 at the time of the announcement, reflecting a 3.73% gain over 24 hours and a 6.16% rise over the past week. Market analysts pointed to a developing bullish wave structure, with a key support zone between $1.33 and $1.36 remaining intact.
