The stablecoin is supported on Ethereum, with support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) planned for a later date, Ripple stated on social media platform X. The company described the listing as a milestone in RLUSD’s growth and a reflection of its commitment to building enterprise-ready stablecoin infrastructure.
Trading pairs involving XRP and a US dollar-pegged stablecoin became available on the launch date. The listing includes spot trading support, portfolio margin eligibility, and utility in leveraged trading strategies. Binance plans to add RLUSD to Binance Earn in the coming days, according to the announcement.
RLUSD recorded significant market capitalization growth in 2025, less than a year after launch. The stablecoin maintains a reserve buffer exceeding 103 percent, held in US Treasury bills and FDIC-insured bank deposits under New York Department of Financial Services supervision, according to Ripple.
Ripple plans to expand RLUSD to multiple Ethereum Layer-2 networks in 2026, utilizing Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging protocol and the Native Token Transfer (NTT) standard. The planned rollout includes bridges to Optimism, Base, Ink Chain, and Unichain, marking the company’s entry into Ethereum’s scaling ecosystem.
In October 2025, several major nonprofit organizations announced partnerships with Ripple to use the company’s blockchain payment platform and RLUSD for humanitarian aid delivery. World Central Kitchen, Water.org, GiveDirectly, and Mercy Corps stated they are testing the technology to improve funding speed and transparency for cross-border transactions without traditional banking networks.
