Ripple’s US dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD is set to debut spot trading on Binance, expanding the token’s reach on one of the world’s largest digital asset exchanges.
Key Takeaways:
RLUSD will debut spot trading on Binance with Ethereum support, with XRPL integration to follow.
Binance plans to expand RLUSD’s use through margin trading and future Binance Earn products.
Ripple is positioning RLUSD as a regulated, payments-focused stablecoin for institutions.
The launch will begin with support on Ethereum, with integration on the XRP Ledger expected to follow. Trading pairs available on day one will include XRP/RLUSD and RLUSD/USDT.
The listing marks a notable step in RLUSD’s rollout and reflects Ripple’s push to position the stablecoin as a payments-focused asset with institutional-grade infrastructure.
RLUSD Expands Utility With Multi-Chain Support and Binance Trading Tools
In addition to spot trading, Binance plans to extend RLUSD’s utility through portfolio margin eligibility and future inclusion in Binance Earn, opening the door to broader use across trading and yield products.
By launching across multiple chains, RLUSD aims to serve users operating within different ecosystems.
Ethereum support offers access to smart contract functionality and decentralized finance integrations, while upcoming availability on XRPL is expected to appeal to users seeking faster settlement and lower transaction costs.
For Ripple, the dual-chain strategy is central to its goal of enabling real-world payments, on-chain liquidity and cross-network interoperability.
The timing comes as demand grows for stablecoins designed specifically for payments rather than trading alone.
RLUSD is backed one-to-one by US dollar deposits, short-term US Treasuries and other cash equivalents, with monthly attestations intended to provide transparency and regulatory clarity.
Ripple has positioned the token as a compliant alternative for institutions navigating tighter oversight of dollar-pegged assets.
Binance’s global footprint is expected to significantly raise RLUSD’s profile, particularly in emerging markets where stablecoins are increasingly used for remittances and dollar access.
Deeper exchange liquidity could also accelerate adoption among developers building payment rails and institutions exploring tokenized cash management and settlement.
RLUSD’s market capitalization has recently climbed past $1.3 billion, underscoring its rapid growth since launch.
The stablecoin is issued under a New York Department of Financial Services limited-purpose trust charter, and Ripple has also received conditional approval for a US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency charter.
Ripple’s RLUSD Wins Regulatory Green Light in Abu Dhabi
As reported, Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD was cleared for institutional use in Abu Dhabi after receiving recognition as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token from the local regulator.
The approval allows licensed firms within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to use RLUSD for regulated financial activities inside the free-zone financial center.
The decision strengthens Ripple’s expansion across the UAE. In recent months, the company secured approvals in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and onboarded partners including Zand Bank and Mamo.
As reported, Ripple is also weighing whether to bring staking to the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a move that would push the decade-old blockchain deeper into the rapidly expanding world of decentralized finance.
