Ripple’s RLUSD is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Ripple and fully backed 1:1 with cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries under strict regulatory oversight. It operates on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, offering fast, low-cost transactions and compliance-oriented features that appeal to institutional users and payment networks.
RLUSD benefits XRP because it increases activity on the XRP Ledger, where XRP is used to pay transaction fees and provides liquidity in trading markets. Higher transaction volume burns more XRP and deepens markets for XRP/RLUSD liquidity pairs, which can attract traders and institutions to the ecosystem. Additionally, integrating RLUSD as a stable medium for global payments and DeFi expands utility for both assets, driving broader adoption of XRP’s bridge and settlement functions.
