Faster aid delivery in crisis areas
World Central Kitchen uses technology to speed up the disbursement of funds to local restaurants and partners in areas where there is no established banking infrastructure. The nonprofit has worked with Ripple since 2020 to deliver meals to communities affected by natural disasters.
The platform settles payments within hours rather than days, even in difficult environments. World Central Kitchen has delivered millions of meals to communities and first responders through the partnership.
Water.org has completed successful trials of Ripple payments in Brazil, Mexico and Peru to send money to microfinance partners. The organization now plans to run all Latin American transactions through the platform and is exploring expansion into Africa and Asia.

Mercy Corps Ventures is running several pilot programs in Kenya to test how RLUSD can accelerate the delivery of emergency cash assistance and insurance payments. The blockchain-powered payment system reduces the time gaps for families waiting for crisis assistance. GiveDirectly is studying similar pilot programs for modular insurance and proactive cash transfers.
RLUSD’s market capitalization has surpassed $900 million in less than a year since its launch. A stablecoin provides a US dollar-backed option for cross-border transactions.
The platform allows organizations to send money 24/7/365 across borders in seconds. The stablecoin’s growth reflects broader institutional adoption of XRP, including Evernorth’s $1 billion purchase of XRP announced earlier this month.
