Gemini has rolled out a new XRP edition of its credit card in partnership with Ripple, giving US customers fresh ways to earn and spend the token.
Cardholders can receive up to 4% back in XRP on gas, EV charging, and rideshare purchases, 3% back on dining, 2% on groceries, and 1% on all other transactions. Select merchants will also offer up to 10% back on qualifying purchases through Gemini’s app.
At the same time, Gemini is expanding access to Ripple USD (RLUSD), a USD-backed stablecoin with a $640 million market cap. RLUSD, already listed on Gemini, is now available as a base currency for all US spot trading pairs, enabling direct swaps without conversion fees.
Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini’s CEO, called the new card a way for customers to “earn XRP and express their passion, loyalty, and excitement.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the partnership makes “everyday spending a chance to earn and connect with both XRP and RLUSD.”
XRP has already proven popular among Gemini cardholders. Users who held XRP rewards for at least a year saw their value rise 453% as of July 2025, the highest gain among all reward currencies on the platform.
