Kraken just gave Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin the green light for trading. RLUSD it’s a USD-pegged token backed by real cash and government securities, operating on both XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains.

And let me tell you, it’s got some serious muscle, a market cap of $293.6 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $94 million as of April 3, 2025.

Strong start

Now, you might be wondering what makes RLUSD so special. Well, it’s designed for the big leagues, enterprise use cases like cross-border payments and trading collateral.

Companies like BKK Forex and iSend are already using it to streamline their treasury operations.

And with Ripple committing to monthly third-party audits, transparency is key.

Stablecoin progress

But here’s the thing, this listing is about the growing bond between crypto and traditional finance. Ripple’s mission is to make cross-border payments faster and cheaper, and RLUSD is the bridge that’s making it happen.

With a projected stablecoin market of $2 trillion by 2028, RLUSD is poised to attract some serious attention.

Kraken’s move is just the latest in a series of integrations that include Uphold, Bitstamp, and LMAX Digital. Jack McDonald, Ripple’s SVP of Stablecoins, says demand has exceeded expectations, and that’s no surprise.

RLUSD offers a stable digital dollar for trading and payments, though you’ll need to check those regional regulations.

Futureproof

And what does this mean for you? RLUSD could be the stable foundation investors need in a volatile market.

And if you’re just starting out, it’s a sign that crypto is becoming more mainstream by the day.

In the end, RLUSD’s success is forecasting the future of finance itself. It’s a future where borders are less relevant and transactions are faster and cheaper. And if you’re not paying attention, you might just miss the boat.
