Ripple Pushes RLUSD Stablecoin Into Japanese Market
Earlier today, XRP parent company Ripple made a move by bringing its native RLUSD stablecoin into the Japanese market. The launch comes in partnership with their key ally, SBI Holdings, which announced plans to bring the stablecoin to its platform earlier this month. Speaking on the development, SBI VC Trade CEO Tomohiko Kondo said:
“SBI Group has been leading the development of the cryptocurrency and blockchain field in Japan. The introduction of RLUSD will not just expand the option of stablecoins in the Japanese market, but is a major step forward in the reliability and convenience of stablecoins in the Japanese market. We will continue to work with Ripple to build a safe and transparent financial infrastructure.”
Ripple noted that its enterprise-grade stablecoin RLUSD is built with utmost compliance and transparency. It assures that the stablecoin is backed by high-quality reserves such as short-term U.S. government bonds, USD deposits, and other cash equivalents.
Furthermore, what sets Ripple apart from its competitors is that it allows third-party accounting, unlike its competitors like Tether’s USDT. In order to introduce greater transparency, banking giant BNY Mellon is maintaining Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin custody.
Stablecoin Active Addresses on the Rise
Over the past week, the market share of the Ripple stablecoin has surged by another $24 million. Similarly, over the past month, the company has minted $134 million in new stablecoins. Data from RWA.xyz shows that the monthly active addresses for RLUSD have surged by 17%, while the monthly transfer volume has soared by 19% to $3.5 billion.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) authorized community banks to collaborate with companies developing stablecoins. This could serve as a major boost for Ripple to push its native stablecoin in the market by bridging the gap with traditional finance.
