Uphold, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange and strong supporter of Ripple’s ecosystem, recently highlighted the remarkable rise of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. In a post on X, Uphold emphasized RLUSD’s rapid growth, with its trading volume surging by over 100% within weeks of its launch.
This impressive performance has already secured RLUSD a spot as the seventh most traded stablecoin by 24-hour volume, trailing industry leaders such as USDT, USDC, and DAI. At this rate, it could be vying for the top spot sooner than expected

A Promising Start for RLUSD
Launched as part of Ripple’s expanding ecosystem, RLUSD has quickly gained traction in a competitive stablecoin market. Its early success shows strong market demand for regulated stablecoins, as RLUSD boasts NYDFS approval.
By offering a USD-backed stablecoin, Ripple has provided users with another reliable medium of exchange, particularly valuable in an industry where volatility can hinder mainstream adoption.
Uphold’s recognition of RLUSD’s rise further validates its significance in the broader cryptocurrency landscape. The exchange’s post comes as RLUSD becomes a central component of Ripple’s strategy to connect traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi).
A New Dimension for Ripple’s Ecosystem
While RLUSD’s market growth is noteworthy, its integration into Ripple’s ecosystem is equally significant. Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz described RLUSD as a complementary asset to XRP, designed to expand use cases and improve liquidity. RLUSD’s stability provides an ideal solution for users engaging in transactions or DeFi activities while minimizing exposure to volatility.
The stablecoin’s strategic role aligns with Ripple’s long-standing goal of bridging traditional and digital financial systems. RLUSD has been referred to as a potential Trojan horse for integrating Ripple’s technology into traditional banking, allowing financial institutions to adopt blockchain solutions seamlessly.

Will RLUSD Take Over the Stablecoin Market?
RLUSD’s rapid ascent also signals a shift in the stablecoin market. As the seventh-ranked stablecoin by 24-hour trading volume, it has outperformed many competitors, highlighting its growing appeal among users and institutions.
RLUSD has achieved this notable feat in less than a month, and the speed of its growth shows how much faith the crypto world has in Ripple’s technology and the digital assets in XRP’s ecosystem. With the stablecoin beginning to gain its footing in Asia, the XRP community is excited to see how much it can grow as adoption increases over the next few months.
