XRP issuer Ripple sees its RLUSD stablecoin grow among retail users
Although some Ripple executives initially suggested that RLUSD might be limited to institutional use, the stablecoin is gaining traction in retail.
Update (July 25, 12:10 pm UTC): This article has been updated to correct information related to Ethereum-issued RLUSD and rectify previous information about EVM sidechain-issued RLUSD.
Ripple USD, a stablecoin issued by XRP coin issuer Ripple, was initially marketed as an “enterprise-focused” stablecoin but has since gained traction among retail users.
Ripple officially introduced its Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin in late 2024, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighting its institutional focus, setting RLUSD apart from competitors primarily focused on retail use.
