The blockchain-based payments firm said Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), has issued an initial approval for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license.

Ripple characterized the decision as a “green light” toward full authorization, subject to remaining conditions.

If completed, the EMI license would allow Ripple to provide regulated payment services involving stablecoins and other digital assets across the European Union via passporting, using Luxembourg as a base to serve other member states under harmonized rules.
