- Ripple and Zand extend UAE partnership to enhance digital finance.
- RLUSD and AEDZ stablecoins integrated for seamless digital asset solutions.
- Ripple’s XRPL blockchain issuance boosts UAE’s growing digital finance ecosystem.
Ripple has extended its partnership with Zand Bank in the UAE, marking a significant move in the digital finance sector. The collaboration between Ripple and Zand aims to leverage stablecoins, blockchain technology, and tokenization to enhance digital asset solutions in the region.
This new phase of their partnership includes Ripple’s USD stablecoin, RLUSD, and Zand’s AED-denominated stablecoin, AEDZ, which will work together to provide innovative solutions for the digital economy.
According to Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Regional Head of East Asia and Africa, last year, Ripple agreed to a payments partnership with Zand, but the partnership is now being extended to explore various initiatives, such as enabling Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin within Zand’s regulated digital asset custody and providing liquidity solutions between RLUSD and AEDZ.
Furthermore, the partnership will see the issuance of AEDZ on Ripple’s XRPL blockchain, further strengthening Ripple’s decentralized network in the realm of digital finance.
Partnership Promises Growth for Digital Assets in the UAE
By extending this partnership, Ripple and Zand are not only strengthening their own digital asset offerings but also contributing to the growth of the UAE’s financial ecosystem. As the region continues to adopt blockchain technology and stablecoins, this collaboration sets the stage for further developments in digital finance.
The strategic integration of RLUSD and AEDZ on Ripple’s XRPL blockchain provides an essential link between traditional finance and the rapidly growing digital asset market.

By enhancing the use of stablecoins and blockchain technology, both companies are working together to reshape how digital assets are integrated into traditional financial systems. This strategic collaboration is poised to play a pivotal role in the future of digital finance in the UAE and beyond.
