United

Ripple, a leading blockchain company, has announced plans to introduce stablecoins in Japan, marking a strategic expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. According to a<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2024-09-06/ripple-ceo-sees-opportunities-for-stablecoin-in-japan-video" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bloomberg interview,</a> Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company sees significant global opportunities for stablecoins, particularly in Japan.

The proposed Ripple stablecoin (RLUSD) is central to this expansion plan. According to Ripple’s CEO, the rollout of RLUSD will occur once U.S. regulators grant the necessary approvals. The company is navigating the complex regulatory landscape in the United States, where stablecoins are gaining attention but remain subject to stringent scrutiny.
Stablecoins pegged to traditional fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar offer a unique advantage by reducing volatility and enabling seamless transactions. For Ripple, stablecoin’s introduction could enhance its existing product offerings and further solidify its position in the global financial ecosystem.
While speaking at the interview, Brad affirmed Ripple uses XRP, its digital currency, to move money across borders. As such, the company expects significant growth in the stablecoin market, especially for stablecoins pegged to the US dollar, which has a total market value of $170 billion. Brad expects the market will grow to $2-$3 trillion in the next five years.
