Ripple stablecoin gains traction
Since its launch on Dec. 17, Ripple stablecoin has gained traction in recent weeks. Major crypto exchange Bitstamp recently announced the addition of Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the Ethereum network to its range of assets. RLUSD is intended for institutional-grade financial use cases, such as payments and tokenization.
The following pairs have been added to the Bitstamp platform: RLUSD/Euro EUR, RLUSD/USD Dollar, RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/Bitcoin BTC, RLUSD/Ethereum ETH and RLUSD/XRP.
Ripple President Monica Long expects to see RLUSD on more platforms "imminently" and also shared her expectation of an XRP ETF soon.
In a recent tweet, the Ripple president indicated that with the stablecoin market poised for exponential growth this year, use cases such as on/off ramps, access to USD and enterprise cross-border payments would only become more robust, bolstered by complementary assets like XRP.
This week, Ripple announced that RLUSD has adopted the Chainlink standard for verifiable data to fuel DeFi adoption with real-time, secure pricing data.
