Ripple is excited to announce we have begun beta testing Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum mainnet. This is a significant milestone and a step closer to bringing more high-quality assets to the XRPL, driving new opportunities, liquidity, and institutional use cases for users, developers, and applications. The mainnet version of Ripple USD is also available on Ethereum, with plans to expand to additional blockchains and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols over time. 

Ripple USD is currently in its beta phase and being rigorously tested by our enterprise partners. This phase is crucial for ensuring that the stablecoin meets the highest standards of security, efficiency, and reliability before it becomes widely available and after receiving regulatory approval. Consequently, Ripple USD is not available for purchase or trading at this time.

Until then, please be cautious of crypto scams which may exploit Ripple’s brand and purport to have early access to sell Ripple USD, which is not available at this time.

Contract addresses:

There is a clear demand for stablecoins that deliver trust, stability, and utility. Once RLUSD is available, Ripple will use both RLUSD and XRP in its cross-border payments solution to serve its global customers and dramatically improve their experience. With over a decade of building enterprise financial solutions, Ripple is in an ideal position to launch a stablecoin that addresses a market projected to grow to over $2.8 trillion by 2028.

Ripple USD is valued at 1:1 to the US dollar (USD) and 100% backed by US dollar deposits, short-term US government treasuries, and other cash equivalents. These reserve assets will be audited by a third-party accounting firm, and Ripple will publish monthly attestations.

Ripple is committed to transparency and will keep the community updated on the progress of Ripple USD. Ripple appreciates your patience and enthusiasm as it works towards making RLUSD a robust and reliable stablecoin for everyone. Together, Ripple is shaping the future of digital finance.

Stay tuned for more updates and announcements regarding Ripple USD.

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
