Ripple disclosed the forthcoming introduction of its stablecoin, RLUSD, on social media platform X Tuesday. The company emphasized the importance of vigilance against fraud and impersonation attempts as the launch approaches. “RLUSD is launching soon! Stay vigilant and report any impersonations or scams,” Ripple wrote. CEO Brad Garlinghouse affirmed the news, revealing that the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has issued final approval for RLUSD.
Garlinghouse elaborated on plans to list RLUSD across exchanges and partner platforms, stating:
This just in…we have final approval from NYDFS for RLUSD! Exchange and partner listings will be live soon.
Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. government Treasuries, and other cash equivalents. It is issued on both the XRP Ledger and the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, enhancing its compatibility with various wallets, decentralized finance (defi) applications, and cryptocurrency exchanges. This dual-chain deployment aims to increase its adaptability across blockchain ecosystems, reinforcing Ripple’s role in providing versatile digital payment solutions for enterprises and financial institutions.
XRP’s market has seen a significant rise ahead of RLUSD’s launch, driven by expectations of increased liquidity and utility within the XRP Ledger. Analysts suggest RLUSD’s integration could boost XRP demand by enhancing the ecosystem. Additionally, enthusiasm for XRP-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Ripple’s legal advancements have further supported the rally.
Meanwhile, the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes with the incoming Trump administration. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, a proponent of cryptocurrency, to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), signaling a potential shift towards more lenient regulations. Additionally, venture capitalist David Sacks has been appointed as the White House AI and crypto czar, indicating a strategic focus on integrating these technologies into national policy.
