Just In: Ripple Launches Website for RLUSD Stablecoin

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I’ve seen numerous players enter the market, each promising to disrupt the status quo. Yet, only a few have managed to make a lasting impact. Ripple Labs Inc.’s foray into stablecoins is one such development that catches my eye.


Surprisingly, Ripple Labs Inc., a blockchain payments company, has unveiled a webpage for its stablecoin named RLUSD. Although this step might appear overdue from their side, it clearly indicates the significant work they’ve been doing behind the scenes in preparation for launching the new digital currency.

Ripple Stablecoin To Compete With Rivals

Using Ripple’s stablecoin, the company can square off directly against Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). Amidst a shifting regulatory environment, they remain hopeful that their stablecoin will establish its niche in the market. Although the webpage unveiling has taken place, the exact launch date for the stablecoin remains undisclosed.
