Ripple's RLUSD Stablecoin Launches on Binance

In a significant development for the cryptocurrency ecosystem, Ripple's regulated stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), has officially launched on Binance with complete support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Announced today by Ripple, this integration marks the completion of Binance's rollout, following an initial listing on the Ethereum network in January 2026.

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has enabled deposits for RLUSD on the XRPL network, allowing users to seamlessly interact with the stablecoin natively on Ripple's high-speed ledger.

Key Highlights of the Launch

- Full XRPL Integration: Users can now deposit, trade, and utilize RLUSD directly on the XRP Ledger, leveraging its sub-second settlement times and low costs.

- Market Performance: As of today, RLUSD maintains a stable price peg near $1.00, with a market cap exceeding $1.52 billion and 24-hour trading volume surpassing $209 million.

- Broader Implications: This listing enhances RLUSD's role in real-world finance, complementing XRP for efficient, regulated stablecoin flows—particularly in regions like LATAM and beyond.

RLUSD, launched in late 2024, has rapidly grown into a top-tier stablecoin thanks to its emphasis on compliance, transparency, and institutional-grade reserves. Backed 1:1 by USD equivalents and audited regularly, it stands out in a market increasingly focused on regulatory trust.

This Binance integration is expected to drive further adoption, providing deeper liquidity pools and new opportunities for yield programs on the platform.

For the XRP community, it's a validation of the ledger's strengths in fast, scalable payments.
