Overview
- Ripple integrated RLUSD with Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers, making the stablecoin natively available on more than 40 blockchain networks.
- Native Token Transfers mean the same RLUSD asset can move between chains without creating wrapped copies, reducing operational custody and reconciliation steps.
- Newly supported networks include Ethereum layer-2s such as Base, Ink, Optimism and Unichain, plus the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain for Ethereum-compatible developer tooling.
- Ripple is pitching RLUSD for institutional uses including cross-border payments and 24/7 settlement, and has signaled partner support from payment networks and local Turkish exchanges.
- Since its late-2024 launch RLUSD has grown to about $1.7 billion in market value, a scale that Ripple says enables broader on- and off-ramp, treasury and tokenization use cases.
