#Ripple is deepening its foothold in Europe by teaming up with AMINA Bank, a Swiss crypto‑bank overseen by FINMA . Under the agreement, AMINA becomes the first European bank to roll out Ripple Payments, offering near‑instant cross‑border transfers in both fiat and stablecoins. By linking conventional banking rails with Ripple’s blockchain, the partnership lets AMINA’s customers settle payments with Ripple USD (RLUSD) and other stablecoins, as well as execute rapid multi‑currency transactions. This alliance bolsters Ripple position in Europe’s emerging crypto‑banking landscape, especially as the Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) framework takes effect. AMINA’s Chief Product Officer Myles Harrison pointed out that legacy banking systems aren’t built for stablecoin flows, but Ripple’s technology gives AMINA a way to serve those clients more efficiently.
