Ripple, a prominent leader in blockchain technology, continues to solidify its position within the U.S. financial system with the recent approval of its RLUSD stablecoin by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).
As anticipation builds for the stablecoin’s official launch in a few hours, Ripple has released an official list of supported wallets, further preparing the ecosystem for adoption.
The image, shared on X by Chad Steingraber, outlines retail and enterprise wallets compatible with RLUSD. The wallets span two major blockchain networks, including the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum, as Ripple stated in its announcement earlier in the year.

Supported Wallets for RLUSD
Retail wallets on the list include Xumm (Xaman), Torus Wallet, Gem Wallet, Trust Wallet, Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and MyEtherWallet (MEW).
These wallets provide options for users seeking secure storage and easy access to RLUSD for individual transactions. Notably, Gem Wallet, Trust Wallet, Ledger, and Trezor support XRPL and Ethereum, catering to users who prefer multi-chain flexibility.
For institutional users, supported enterprise wallets are Ripple Custody, Fireblocks, and BitGo. These wallets are integral for larger-scale transactions and custodial services, ensuring RLUSD’s seamless integration into the operations of financial institutions and enterprises. They also support both XRPL and Ethereum blockchains.

The Strategic Importance of the NYDFS Approval
In a different post, Steingraber drew attention to Ripple’s acquisition of the New York Charter as part of the company’s acquisition of the Standard Custody and Trust Company.
He noted this as a pivotal move, enabling the company to align with the stringent regulatory requirements for stablecoin issuance in the U.S. financial landscape. Steingraber emphasized the significance of this approval, remarking that “no other stablecoin has this.”
The timing of the stablecoin’s approval aligns closely with the impending introduction of the U.S. Stablecoin Act, which is expected to impose strict guidelines for stablecoin issuers. Ripple’s proactive approach positions RLUSD to meet these standards, making it a potential leader in the regulated stablecoin space.
RLUSD’s Launch
With the official wallet list now public, Ripple’s commitment to building a robust infrastructure for RLUSD is becoming clearer. By ensuring compatibility across a diverse range of wallets, Ripple provides accessibility for both retail users and enterprises.
This strategic move bolsters user confidence and lays the groundwork for RLUSD’s adoption in cross-border payments and other real-world use cases. However, investors should not move too fast, as Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz recently issued an important warning about the stablecoin’s launch.
