Schuman Financial enters into a strategic partnership with Ripple and OpenFX to Provide Access to European Euro Rails and Scale EURØP Globally
Zug, 5 August 2026 — Schuman Financial, the leading European stablecoin issuer, infrastructure provider and payments company, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with several major global companies that are transforming financial services through digital asset technologies, including Ripple and OpenFX. The partnership involves a financial investment in Schuman.
The decision reflects Schuman’s emergence as the European leader in stablecoin-based finance. Payments in particular are being dramatically transformed by stablecoin technologies, and the market today remains heavily dependent on dollar-denominated assets. Schuman Financial is building the European alternative.
Through the partnership, Schuman is providing its strategic partners with regulated access to European financial infrastructure for the era of tokenised finance, while their networks help accelerate the global deployment of Schuman’s financial services. Through integration with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) Permissioned DEX, the partnership will also help Schuman expand into institutional-grade on-chain FX services, increasing its capacity to serve global financial institutions and process higher settlement volumes.
“Europe needs its own financial rails for the on-chain economy. This investment is about connecting regulated European euro infrastructure with global institutions that can help EURØP become a settlement layer beyond Europe,”
– Martin Bruncko, Co-Founder and CEO of Schuman Financial.
“Europe is becoming a home to on-chain, regulated financial infrastructure – spurred by the work of partners like Schuman Financial. By integrating with the XRP Ledger’s Permissioned DEX and utilising Ripple Payments, Schuman is expanding what’s possible in institutional-grade FX on blockchain-based rails, bringing flows on-chain from traditional rails.”
– Brian Oliver, Vice President, RippleX Partnerships at Ripple.
With offices in Paris, London and Zurich, and French EMI and EMT licences, Schuman is the issuer of the EURØP euro stablecoin. It has built a best-in-class financial technology platform that enables free, instant, 24/7 international payments between Europe and the rest of the world, as well as the instant movement of value between tokenised assets and cash in the bank. Schuman Financial will use the investment to accelerate EURØP adoption, expand institutional integrations and continue building the infrastructure required for euro-denominated value to move seamlessly across the on-chain economy.
