What happened
Standard Chartered has rolled out custody services for Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, through its Dubai branch. The stablecoin operates on Ethereum and competes directly with Tether's USDT. The bank is also planning a partnership with LMAX Group to allow institutional clients to use RLUSD as collateral on LMAX's trading platform. This arrangement specifically excludes XRP.

Why it matters
The custody deal channels all collateral demand to Ripple's stablecoin. While traders treated the news as a non-event, the arrangement reinforces Ripple's stablecoin adoption. The stablecoin's growth does not require or reward the XRP Ledger.
