Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a fully regulated enterprise-level stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. The asset is issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company (a Ripple Labs subsidiary) under strict supervision of the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). The token was developed specifically for integration into major banking infrastructure and payment corridors.

Price stability is ensured by segregated reserves consisting of fiat cash and short-term US Treasury securities. The native multi-chain architecture is deployed on XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks, providing institutional clients with unprecedented liquidity, compliance, and high-speed cross-border settlements.

FAQ

  • Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a stable digital coin whose rate is protected from volatility and pegged to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio. The project was developed by blockchain giant Ripple as an institutional tool for fast, transparent, and cost-effective cross-border B2B payments and settlements.

  • These are two completely different purpose tools. XRP is a volatile native coin of the XRP Ledger network that acts as a free global liquidity bridge, with its value determined by the market. RLUSD is a regulated stablecoin with a fixed price designed for traditional financial institutions that need the stability of fiat dollars on blockchain.

  • Each RLUSD token has 100% real backing, eliminating algorithmic risks. Reserves consist of US cash dollars and short-term US Treasury bonds held in segregated accounts at BNY Mellon. The project is fully regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and undergoes monthly independent audits.

  • The project implements a flexible "chain-agnostic" strategy. Native regulated token emission is simultaneously launched on XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains (ERC-20 standard). The token infrastructure is also expanding to leading Layer 2 solutions, including Base and Optimism, via secure cross-chain standards Wormhole NTT.

  • The primary uses of RLUSD are instant international corporate remittances, optimization of interbank settlements, and liquidity management within the Ripple Payments network. Additionally, due to its high reliability, the token serves as a base settlement collateral in institutional DeFi lending programs and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization ecosystems.
