RLUSD is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar offered on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain. It is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and cash equivalents with each token matched by equivalent fiat value.
Security features make RLUSD appealing to institutional users. An XRP Ledger amendment in January saw a “clawback” feature go live on the network, allowing the issuer to reclaim certain tokens, such as RLUSD, from users' wallets under specific conditions.
Industry leaders say RLUSD may shift crypto market dynamics, with incumbents such as Tether's USDT, the largest stablecoin, and Circle's USDC, the No. 2, seeing competition from Ripple’s product. It is also seen boosting closely related XRP’s appeal among investors.
