This strategic minting and transfer are part of Ripple's broader efforts to enhance RLUSD’s liquidity and utility. These actions may also indicate preparations for wider adoption on more platforms and exchanges.
Since its launch, RLUSD has quickly gained traction globally. On December 17, the stablecoin debuted on platforms such as Uphold, MoonPay, CoinMENA, Archax, and Bitso. Bullish, a prominent exchange, recently announced the listing of RLUSD, enabling trading pairs like RLUSD/USDC, BTC/RLUSD, XRP/RLUSD, ETH/RLUSD, and more.
Further solidifying its global presence, RLUSD has entered the Singapore market. Independent Reserve, Ripple’s long-time partner, became the first regulated exchange in Singapore to offer RLUSD, marking a significant milestone for the stablecoin’s adoption in Asia.
RLUSD is pegged 1:1 with the U.S. dollar and issued natively on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks. This dual-chain functionality enables a variety of use cases, including cross-border payments, decentralized banking, and more. Ripple’s ongoing expansion efforts aim to position RLUSD as a key player in the stablecoin ecosystem.
