Exodus (NYSE: $EXOD) is widening its XRP footprint at a point when self-custody products are being pushed to do more than simply store assets. The company said Thursday it has expanded native support for the XRP Ledger inside the Exodus wallet, adding tools for managing and sending XRP directly from the app while also working with Ripple to provide additional in-wallet support for Ripple USD, or RLUSD (CRYPTO: $RLUSD).
The update gives more shape to how Exodus is positioning its wallet strategy. XRP already ranks among the leading assets in the wallet by user activity and swap volume, according to the company, which makes the expansion look less like a one-off token integration and more like a response to how users are already moving value inside the product.
Bringing RLUSD into that experience pushes the wallet a little further toward everyday utility, especially as stablecoins and self-custody continue to move closer together.

Exodus said the rollout is designed to deepen native interaction with XRPL and lay the groundwork for broader support of XRPL-issued assets over time. CEO and co-founder JP Richardson said expanding XRPL support gives users “more ways to use XRP without sacrificing self-custody or the simplicity of the Exodus experience,” adding that XRP is already one of the wallet’s top assets. Ripple stablecoin product lead Lauren Berta said the addition of RLUSD gives users more flexibility in how they store and move value.
That makes the partnership feel like more than a simple feature update. Wallet providers are increasingly being judged on how well they connect storage, payments and asset movement without forcing users out of self-custody.
Exodus and Ripple said they plan to keep expanding XRPL and RLUSD support over time, and the broader takeaway is fairly straightforward: the wallet market is starting to reward products that can make major assets and stablecoins feel more usable inside one place, not just more accessible.
