CoinMarketCap reports:

Ripple won the "Best Project for Financial Inclusion" award at the PAY360 Awards 2026, the 20th edition of this payments industry event.

This award recognizes a pilot project by Ripple in collaboration with Prosper Global Ventures, DIVA Protocol, and Fortune Credit Ltd., which uses its RLUSD stablecoin to support agricultural communities in Kenya.

The program combines satellite data with smart contracts to identify drought conditions and automatically disburse RLUSD payouts to affected farmers without requiring manual claims or lengthy approval processes.

Ripple’s USD-backed RLUSD stablecoin, launched in December 2024, is currently used for the company’s cross-border payment services. This pilot is among the first documented cases of RLUSD being used in Africa for climate-related aid distribution.
