Ripple joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s BLOOM initiative with Unloq to test RLUSD and XRPL for programmable cross-border trade settlement in Singapore.
Financial technology company Ripple said Wednesday it had joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) BLOOM initiative with supply chain finance technology firm Unloq to test programmable cross-border trade settlement using the XRP Ledger and Ripple USD.
The pilot will use Unloq’s SC+ smart-contract-driven trade finance infrastructure, which integrates trade obligations, settlement conditions and financing workflow into a single execution layer. The pilot will also utilize Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) and its stablecoin designed for enterprise use cases, Ripple USD (RLUSD), the announcement states.
MAS launched BLOOM, short for Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online, Multi-currency, in October 2025 to extend settlement capabilities using tokenized bank liabilities and regulated stablecoins.
