What is Ripple USD (RLUSD)?

Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a fiat-backed stablecoin with reserves of U.S. dollars, government bonds, and cash equivalents. RLUSD is designed for cross-border payments that combine the stability of the U.S. dollar with the speed and transparency of cryptocurrency for seamless transactions. It offers digital dollar access built on Ripple's decade-long presence in blockchain solutions, and is one of the few stablecoins to be issued under a New York limited purpose trust charter.

Frequently asked questions about buying Ripple USD

Ripple USD was created by a subsidiary of Ripple Labs, the creators of the XRP token. The advisory board for RLUSD includes former FDIC Chair Sheila Bair, CENTRE Consortium CEO David Puth, and Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen.

The Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin was launched in October 2024. As one of the newest stablecoins, RLUSD is one of the few to be issued under a New York limited purpose trust charter.

Like most fiat-backed stablecoins, RLUSD attempts to maintain its 1:1 peg with the US dollar via reserves that include dollar deposits, government bonds, and other cash equivalents. Although there is no guarantee that the stablecoin will always maintain its value of $1, BPM will conduct and publish monthly audits as a means to provide greater transparency of asset reserves.

How much RLUSD you can buy will depend on your account limit, with higher purchases requiring increasing/different KYC levels. The minimum amount you can purchase is $20.

Stablecoins like RLUSD can be held to stay within the crypto ecosystem while combating the cryptocurrency market’s inherent volatility, since the issuer will attempt to keep a constant price. It helps to limit price volatility while offering the benefits of decentralized finance (DeFi) such as on-chain liquidity, and cheaper and faster payments for remittances and payouts.
