$RLUSD Hits $500 Million Market Cap Seven Months After Launch
#Ripple's dollar-pegged stablecoin
$RLUSD has surged past $500 million in circulating supply within seven months of its December 2024 launch.
The token ranks among the top 20 largest dollar #stablecoins with roughly $26 million daily volume.
$RLUSD operates on both
$XRP Ledger and Ethereum, backed 1:1 by cash, cash equivalents, and short-term U.S. treasuries.
Ripple is pursuing a national trust-bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to hold customer deposits directly.
The federal license would enable
$RLUSD issuance under the same regulations governing federally supervised banks.
The growth comes amid pro-crypto regulatory changes under the #DonaldTrump administration, with agencies permitting banks to offer crypto services.
Dollar-linked tokens now represent nearly $250 billion in market value, over 95% of the total $260 billion #stablecoin market.
