Gate has unveiled the addition of RLUSD (Ripple USD), Ripple’s U.S. Dollar-pegged stablecoin, along with the introduction of BTC/RLUSD, ETH/RLUSD, XRP/RLUSD, and RLUSD/USDT trading pairs on June 15 at 09:00 (UTC). With the asset now accessible, participants can exchange RLUSD directly against prominent digital currencies in the spot market, thereby broadening the practical applications of stablecoins across various trading contexts.
RLUSD represents a regulated, enterprise-level stablecoin developed with an emphasis on trust, liquidity, and adherence to regulatory standards. Brought to market by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC — a fully owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs — RLUSD maintains a 1:1 backing ratio through U.S. dollar deposits, short-duration U.S. government securities, and other liquid cash instruments, accompanied by monthly verification reports to reinforce confidence and regulatory harmony.
Crafted specifically for payments, RLUSD aims to address the escalating need among users, developers, and organizations for a stablecoin that offers transparency, cross-platform compatibility, and genuine real-world functionality. Following its December 2024 debut, RLUSD’s total market value has exceeded $1.6 billion, signaling swift uptake across payment systems, international transfers, and institutional decentralized finance. A foundational element of RLUSD’s framework lies in its multi-chain architecture.
Natively supported on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, RLUSD delivers the combined advantages of both blockchain ecosystems: rapid, economical transfers via XRPL, and programmable smart contract integration on Ethereum. This cross-chain strategy guarantees that RLUSD remains wherever developers and users decide to operate, supporting real-world payment solutions, distributed liquidity, and seamless cross-network interaction on a large scale. By incorporating major asset trading pairs, RLUSD is anticipated to positively influence market depth and the efficiency of capital circulation.
Gate has simultaneously rolled out a market rewards initiative totaling 750,000 RLUSD to bolster the launch, spanning trading, liquidity provisions, and user engagement across several fronts. Principal features include a CandyDrop reward system for retail participants, dedicated VIP token distributions for high-value users, in addition to lowered withdrawal fees and influencer marketing campaigns. The comprehensive rewards framework revolves around RLUSD trading paired with leading crypto assets such as BTC, ETH, and XRP, with the objective of stimulating authentic trading activity and amplifying overall market vitality.
When it comes to the program’s architecture, the platform has deliberately omitted stablecoin-to-stablecoin trading from the primary rewards scope to minimize distortions to market data caused by inorganic trading patterns. Concurrently, sequential task frameworks and graduated reward tiers have been structured to harmonize the acquisition of new users with heightened participation from current users. Furthermore, staggered reductions in withdrawal charges will be implemented progressively to ease deposits, transfers, and on-chain movement, thereby enhancing capital flow velocity across diverse trading venues and blockchain ecosystems.
Moreover, the RLUSD withdrawal feature is projected to go live on June 16, 2026, at 09:00 (UTC) (the precise timing depends on the status displayed on the asset page), coupled with a complimentary RLUSD withdrawal campaign. Throughout the promotional window, users will benefit from waived withdrawal charges on any single transfer of RLUSD equaling or exceeding 20 units.
Gate remains committed to enhancing its backing of stablecoins and multi-chain digital assets by integrating emerging stable value tokens alongside structured incentive frameworks aimed at improving market depth and transaction efficiency. The RLUSD launch and the concentrated deployment of reward offerings further underscore Gate’s strategic positioning within the stablecoin landscape, as well as its enduring commitment to refining the trading ecosystem and user experience through the incorporation of premium assets and liquidity solutions. Looking ahead, Gate intends to persist in broadening its selection of high-caliber assets and ecosystem collaborations, fortifying the synergy between trading platforms and on-chain environments, and propelling the ongoing advancement of digital asset market infrastructure.
