Ripple secures NYDFS approval for RLUSD


Ripple has taken a major leap in the stablecoin market with the approval of RLUSD by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced Tuesday.

And the effect was fast and furious. XRP jumped nearly 7% after the announcement despite on-chain data showing a huge supply pool flooding the Binance exchange.

As one of the strictest regulators in the cryptocurrency space, NYDFS’s green light underscores Ripple’s compliance with high standards of transparency, security, and consumer protection. RLUSD, designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar, is expected to launch soon on major exchanges​.

This stablecoin operates on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains, enabling compatibility with existing financial systems while improving transaction efficiency.
Ripple aims to leverage RLUSD as a cornerstone of its remittance and settlement services, providing users with a more stable digital asset to counter the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies like XRP.
The strategic introduction of RLUSD signals Ripple’s ambition to dominate the regulated stablecoin market and compete with established players like Circle and Paxos.
Analysts believe this could also enhance the liquidity and utility of XRP, potentially driving further adoption of Ripple’s ecosystem. Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, celebrated the milestone, hinting at imminent exchange listings​.
With RLUSD, Ripple is not just reinforcing its presence in New York’s regulated financial ecosystem but also setting the stage for broader global adoption, reshaping how stablecoins are used in cross-border payments and financial transactions​.
