Ripple’s US dollar stablecoin, RLUSD, has been listed for spot trading on Binance, one of the world’s largest digital asset exchanges.
A long time coming, the listing is a major step for RLUSD’s competitiveness against leading stablecoins USDC and USDT.
Trading pairs XRP/RLUSD and RLUSD/USDT are now available, with Ethereum support live and XRP Ledger integration coming soon via the exchange as the stabecoins reaches a market capitalization of $1.40B.
Beyond spot trading, Binance plans to add RLUSD to portfolio margin and Binance Earn, enhancing the token’s use cases on the exchange in leveraged strategies and yields.
For Ripple, Binance has boosted RLUSD’s positioning as an enterprise-grade, regulated stablecoin backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries, and cash equivalents, with oversight under a New York DFS trust charter.
Compared to Tether and Circle, Ripple’s RLUSD is one of the most regulatory-friendly stablecoins in the crypto market.
The Binance listing is particularly important for the XRP Ledger as stablecoins and tokenized assets move into the mainstream.
RLUSD’s multichain angle allows it to bridge between Ethereum’s ecosystem and the XRP Ledger, strengthening XRPL’s role as a payments and liquidity network.
As RLUSD adoption grows, it could lead to a drive in increased ledger activity between networks, adding to liquidity depth and demand for XRP in response.
Ripple’s RLUSD token launched in December 2024 on a few exchanges and was endorsed by Uphold. Since then, the token has been listed on Bullish exchange, Kraken, and now Binance.
As tokenization of equities and real-world assets accelerates, RLUSD’s exchange liquidity and regulatory alignment can position the token as a building block for on-chain finance.
For the XRP Ledger, which is set to gain new ZK-proof features in 2026, the momentum of RLUSD can reinforce its popularity in a future where stablecoins are set to underpin global payments, remittances, and tokenized infrastructures.
