RLUSD Ripple Integration Sees Stablecoin’s Monthly Growth

RLUSD has become the latest addition to Ripple Payments, marking a significant step in bridging stablecoin technology with enterprise-level transactions. The stablecoin’s market cap soared by an impressive 118% over the past month, reaching $200 million by March’s end, according to Artemis data. Monthly transfer volume also rose from $466 million to $720 million, highlighting RLUSD’s fast-growing utility in cross-border finance.

Cross-Border Integration with Ripple

The RLUSD integration follows a phased rollout within Ripple Payments, a key solution in Ripple’s global transaction infrastructure. Early adopters include BKK Forex and iSend, which are already leveraging RLUSD for cross-border treasury operations. The token’s strong month-over-month growth underscores its appeal to both crypto-native and traditional finance markets.

Enterprise-Grade Utility

Ripple’s SVP of stablecoins, Jack McDonald, explains that RLUSD aims to serve institutional flows rather than typical retail demands. Market participants increasingly use RLUSD as collateral for tokenized real-world assets. Over time, Ripple plans to widen RLUSD’s role to additional enterprise clients, solidifying the stablecoin’s position in high-value corporate transactions.

Kraken Listing Bolsters Adoption

In tandem with the Ripple integration, RLUSD scored a major listing on Kraken. It had previously been available on platforms such as LMAX Digital, Bitstamp, Zero Hash, and Bullish. Kraken’s addition extends RLUSD’s reach to more institutional and retail traders, providing them with a regulated U.S. exchange for stablecoin-based trading and settlements.

DeFi Data Feeds

Earlier in January, Ripple partnered with Chainlink to incorporate RLUSD price feeds into DeFi solutions. This paved the way for broader retail interaction and provided developers in the decentralized ecosystem a reliable oracle for RLUSD data.

Outlook for RLUSD and Ripple

By coupling RLUSD with Ripple Payments, Ripple reaffirms its broader mission to connect crypto infrastructure to regulated financial markets. The stablecoin’s spike in market cap and transfer volume – plus a new listing on Kraken – highlights an accelerating demand for stable, enterprise-focused digital assets. As RLUSD evolves, its role in tokenized real-world assets, cross-border transactions, and collateralized lending points to a future where stablecoins and traditional finance converge more seamlessly.
