RLUSD is 100% backed by US dollar deposits, US Treasury bills, and cash equivalents — redeemable 1:1 for USD. It's positioned to complement, not replace, XRP in the ODL ecosystem: where XRP handles cross-currency bridging, RLUSD handles USD-denominated liquidity and DeFi collateral on XRPL.
How RLUSD Works and Its Backing
How RLUSD Works and Its Backing
RLUSD maintains its dollar peg through full reserve backing — each RLUSD in circulation is backed by $1 in USD deposits, short-term US Treasury bills, or money market instruments. Ripple publishes monthly reserve attestations from an independent third-party auditor, providing transparency similar to Circle's USDC model.
NYDFS approval (New York Department of Financial Services) gives RLUSD a significant regulatory credential: NYDFS has the strictest stablecoin oversight regime in the US, requiring robust capital requirements, regular audits, and consumer protection standards. RLUSD's approval signals Ripple's commitment to the highest compliance standards.
