RLUSD is now live on Binance
The listing also brings portfolio margin eligibility and future inclusion in Binance Earn, giving users additional ways to interact with RLUSD.
This milestone reflects Ripple’s ongoing commitment to building a transparent, enterprise-ready stablecoin infrastructure. RLUSD’s 1:1 backing with U.S. dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries, and other cash equivalents, along with monthly attestations, ensures trust, transparency, and regulatory alignment. The Binance listing significantly expands RLUSD’s visibility and usability, particularly for developers, institutions, and users in emerging markets.
Built for multichain finance
From launch, RLUSD was designed for multichain interoperability. Its availability on both XRPL and Ethereum allows users to leverage fast, low-cost transactions on XRPL while taking advantage of Ethereum’s smart contract ecosystem. This multichain approach supports a wide range of applications, from cross-border payments to decentralized finance (DeFi), making RLUSD accessible wherever developers and users choose to build.
The stablecoin has already gained traction across major exchanges and partnerships with firms like Facilita Pay, Ripio, OSL, Bitpanda, and Amina Bank. With a market cap recently surpassing $1.3 billion and regulatory recognition from the New York DFS and conditional OCC approval, RLUSD is emerging as a foundational layer of the on-chain economy. The Binance listing is expected to accelerate adoption, unlock new liquidity, and enable financial institutions and developers worldwide to integrate RLUSD into payments, remittances, and DeFi applications.
Meanwhile, Ripple secured preliminary approval for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from Luxembourg’s financial regulator, strengthening its European operations and aligning with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. This positions Ripple to capture a larger share of the $150 billion stablecoin market projected for 2026.
