Ripple Gains Global Exchange Support for RLUSD Stablecoin Release

Source Beincrypto

Ripple has announced the launch of its stablecoin, RLUSD (Ripple USD), along with its global exchange partners who will facilitate the token’s availability worldwide.

This launch, alongside key partnerships, marks a major milestone in Ripple’s ongoing efforts to expand its offerings.

Ripple Names Exchange Partners for its RLUSD Stablecoin

The firm named Uphold, Bitstamp, Bitso, MoonPay, Independent Reserve, CoinMENA, and Bullish as exchange partners for the USD-denominated stablecoin. With a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said RLUSD could set the standard for stablecoins.

“With our initial exchange partners, the clear utility and demand for RLUSD, and a strong focus on regulatory compliance, Ripple’s stablecoin is poised to become the gold standard for enterprise-grade stablecoins,” Garlinghouse said.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin will launch on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain. Ripple began minting RLUSD in late September, positioning it as a compliant, trusted, USD-backed stablecoin for developers and users alike.

The firm also committed to monthly third-party audited attestations of its reserve assets to ensure transparency. B2C2 and Keyrock will serve as market makers, supporting RLUSD stablecoin’s liquidity and helping promote its adoption across global markets.

It comes amid calls for high-quality stablecoins to enable payments, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and decentralized finance (DeFi). According to Garlinghouse, Ripple’s payment solutions could meet this demand by leveraging its unique mix of RLUSD, XRP, and other digital assets, delivering faster, more reliable, and cost-effective cross-border payments.

Stablecoin Advisory Board Amid Push for Regulatory Compliance

To promote responsible and compliant growth, Ripple has formed an advisory board for RLUSD, featuring prominent figures such as Ripple co-founder and Executive Chair Chris Larsen and former FDIC Chair Sheila Bair. Despite recent criticism from a Ripple executive toward the FDIC, Bair emphasized that stablecoins are key to advancing financial inclusion and modernizing infrastructure.

Another key board member, David Puth, Vice Chair of Partners Capital and former CEO of CENTRE Consortium, underscored RLUSD’s potential to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) with the digital economy.

“They [stablecoins] offer the stability needed for transactions while utilizing blockchain technology to enhance transparency and efficiency,” Puth remarked.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is poised to deliver enterprise-grade financial solutions, combining the stability of fiat currencies with blockchain efficiency. Key use cases include facilitating seamless payments and conversions between fiat and crypto, avoiding price volatility, and enabling RWA tokenization for assets like commodities and securities with reduced transaction costs and volatility.

However, RLUSD enters a competitive market dominated by Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, which account for over 90% of the stablecoin market. Despite their dominance, Ripple could carve out a significant market share by targeting the tightly regulated EU market.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
