Ripple, Clearpool, and Cicada partner for XRPL institutional lending

Ripple, Clearpool, and Cicada Partners are collaborating to establish an institutional lending market on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The initiative aims to provide working capital loans to fintech firms, payment service providers, and crypto companies using Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin as the underlying credit asset.

In this structure, Clearpool will provide the lending infrastructure, utilizing the proposed XLS-66 Lending Protocol and XLS-65 Single Asset Vaults. Cicada Partners will serve as the credit manager, responsible for borrower sourcing, loan origination, and ongoing credit monitoring. Ripple will participate as a limited partner and liquidity provider but will not act as a financial backstop for the fund.

The project seeks to shift DeFi yields from speculative trading-driven activities toward real-world business credit. While integration testing is underway on the development network, the full deployment on the XRPL mainnet is contingent upon the successful governance approval and implementation of the XLS-65 and XLS-66 protocol amendments.
