XRP’s position within the digital asset landscape received heightened recognition this week as CNBC covered the recent developments surrounding the cryptocurrency. The segment highlighted Gemini’s introduction of a new XRP credit card, a move that places the token directly into mainstream financial products.
The coverage showcases XRP’s expanding relevance at a time when regulatory clarity and institutional interest in altcoins are steadily growing.

Gemini XRP Credit Card and Deeper Integration
The credit card itself offers consumers a structured rewards system that provides up to 4% back on purchases. Gemini has partnered with select merchants to return 10% on eligible purchases for all cardholders.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz celebrated this notable milestone on X, and the CNBC report also highlighted comments from Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss. Winklevoss stated that the new XRP edition of the Gemini credit card was designed to give customers in the XRP community additional ways to earn the asset while expressing their loyalty and enthusiasm for it.
Alongside the card launch, Gemini is also expanding the use of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on its platform. The exchange announced that RLUSD is now available as a base currency for all spot trading pairs for U.S. customers.

The announcement comes as Gemini continues to pursue significant corporate goals. The firm confidentially filed for an initial public offering in June, and Ripple has provided a credit line to support this goal. Intriguingly, this partnership may involve the use of RLUSD, deepening ties between Ripple and Gemini.
XRP’s Expanding Role
These developments arrive as multiple asset managers await decisions from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on applications for spot ETFs covering XRP and many other altcoins.
The anticipation of these products reflects a growing shift in institutional interest beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. For XRP, the combination of credit card integration, media recognition, and possible ETF approval signals a broader role for the asset in the financial landscape.
