Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a US dollar-denominated stablecoin issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs. It operates across both the Ethereum and XRP Ledger ecosystems, positioning it within the broader multi-chain landscape. The token is fully backed by an equivalent amount of US dollars and cash equivalents held in reserve, categorizing it as a fiat-collateralized stablecoin issued in the United States. The primary purpose of RLUSD is to serve as a digital representation of the US dollar for cross-border payments, enabling financial institutions, enterprises, and developers to move value efficiently across blockchain networks. It is designed to combine the stability of the dollar with the speed, transparency, and programmability of distributed-ledger technology. By leveraging Ripple's long-standing relationships in the payments industry and its portfolio of regulatory licenses, RLUSD aims to provide a compliant and liquid on-chain dollar instrument suitable for institutional and enterprise-grade use cases.
