Ripple USD

Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, Joel Katz, explained the benefits of the newly launched stablecoin, Ripple USD ($RLUSD). He explained what the new $RLUSD stablecoin is and how it will help users, developers, and businesses.&nbsp;
According to Katz, RLUSD will drive an increase in trading volume and open up new chances for the developers within the XRP Ledger ecosystem. He stated that the launch of RLUSD will make XRP Ledger more functional, enabling it to manage both crypto and fiat assets more effectively.
“RLUSD and XRP will complement each other because of their inherent differences,” Katz stated.

He added that while XRP will continue to operate as a bridge currency for Ripple’s payment solutions, RLUSD will increase liquidity and enable decentralized finance applications.&nbsp;
RLUSD is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) on December 10. The stablecoin is designed for easier cross-border payments and creating a stable means of transferring value from fiat to cryptocurrencies, or vice versa.
Katz spoke of the fact that RLUSD works quite seamlessly with XRP through the Ledger’s very unique auto-bridging system, which utilizes XRP as a bridge asset to facilitate trades between different assets.&nbsp;
In a <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/12/17/pro-xrp-lawyer-responds-to-secs-unregistered-claim-on-rlusd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previous report</a>, Ripple President Monica Long also confirmed that XRP and RLUSD have different roles in the system. XRP is mainly used for international payments, while RLUSD is meant for liquidity and helping to convert real-world assets into tokens.&nbsp;
In addition, RLUSD provides easy ways of moving money in and out of the crypto ecosystem, hence making it easy for users to switch between regular money and cryptocurrency. The launch of RLUSD is expected to bring increased activity and innovation to the XRP Ledger, solidifying Ripple’s position in the evolving financial landscape.
