On June 13, 2026, Ripple and Bitso announced the expansion of their partnership to bring MXNB, a regulated, peso-backed stablecoin issued by Juno, a subsidiary of Bitso, natively to the XRP Ledger, integrating it alongside RLUSD on the DEX-permitted XRPL platform to create a direct USD/MXN settlement line on the ledger targeting the US-Mexico cross-border payments corridor.
This is not just a network expansion of an existing asset. It is an attempt to reframe XRPL as an institutional-grade regulated liquidity infrastructure for one of the most active remittance corridors in the world.
Secondary sources, including Bitget’s coverage, cite annual flows exceeding $60 billion between the United States and Mexico, a number that Ripple’s primary press release does not mention but that outlines the commercial logic of the pairing.

MXNB on XRPL: How the settlement mechanism works
MXNB, which already exists on Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Avalanche, is now deployed within XRPL’s permissioned DEX, a compliance-focused environment where only KYC/AML-verified institutional counterparties can access liquidity pools and settlement rails, which differs from XRPL’s public DEX.
Combined with RLUSD, Ripple’s US dollar stablecoin, the two assets form a single-ledger foreign exchange layer and settlement layer for cross-border payments without relying on correspondent bank paths.
MXNB’s 1:1 reserves in Mexican pesos are held in protected accounts at licensed financial institutions in Mexico, according to Bitso’s published reserves disclosures.
Juno operates as a certified electronic payment institution under Mexico’s FinTech Law, providing the regulatory foundation upon which Ripple relies to market the product to institutional customers rather than retail users.

The 2W GC indicator has reliably captured cyclical behavior during bear markets, with the price consistently pointing towards the lower regression band to mark the lowest levels of the cycle every three years (2017, 2020, 2023). POC for 2026 is confirmed at $1.04.

Ripple and Bitso Partnership History: LATAM On-Ramp Context
Ripple first brought on Bitso as a preferred liquidity provider in 2019, using XRP-based on-demand liquidity flows to process hundreds of millions of dollars in remittances to Mexico.
This relationship has made Bitso one of Ripple’s primary platforms inside and outside of Latin America, and has laid the operational foundation for what is now a settlement layer for stablecoins rather than a pure XRP liquidity play.
Silvio Pegado, Managing Director of LATAM at Ripple, described the integration as “the next evolution of how value moves between the dollar and the peso,” noting in the official press release that the pairing of RLUSD and MXNB on the XRPL Permissioned DEX creates “a regulated liquidity infrastructure specifically designed for cross-border institutional payments.”
Ben Reed, head of stablecoins at Bitso Business, said MXNB was “built from the ground up for institutional settlement” and that the integration gives institutional users “access to on-chain peso-denominated liquidity, while ensuring the compliance and settlement efficiency that institutional use cases require.”
Industry Implications: A Model for a Regional Stablecoin Infrastructure
The analytical question is no longer whether XRPL can support stablecoin activity; RLUSD Growth has already proven that. It is about whether the DEX-permitted XRPL platform can attract enough institutional parties, banks, payment processors and fintech companies to determine the network density required for MXN FX on-chain liquidity to compete with legacy settlement rails in terms of cost and speed.
Ripple’s own framework places the MXNB/RLUSD pairing as a template for local stablecoin settlement infrastructure via additional LATAM corridors, with the US-Mexico corridor as proof of concept.
We believe the near-term signal to watch is not the price action on XRP itself, but the pace of institutional setup in the authorized DEX – this pipeline will determine whether this corridor turns into a regional infrastructure franchise or remains a well-structured bilateral arrangement.
