It has established a panel of experts to spearhead the development of the new stablecoin offering. Its advisory committee consists of several well-known personalities, including Sheila Bair, former chair of the FDIC, and Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple.
Today at #RippleSwell, weâre proud to announce our Ripple USD exchange partners.
Upon regulatory approval, $RLUSD will be globally available for institutions and users from @UpholdInc, @BitStamp, @Bitso, @Moonpay, @Indereserve, @CoinMENA, and @Bullish. https://t.co/iZ7L1MHpn3â Ripple (@Ripple) October 15, 2024
Accordingly, RLUSD will be issued under the auspices of a Trust Company license issued by the State of New York to ensure regulatory compliance. In other words, the creation and management of RLUSD are under the rigorous oversight of New York financial authorities.
Furthermore, Ripple added that the stablecoin would be listed on several major crypto exchanges, such as Bitstamp, Bitso, and Bullish, for access by institutional users and smaller investors alike.
âWith our initial exchange partners, the clear utility and demand for RLUSD, and a strong focus on regulatory compliance, Rippleâs stablecoin is set to become the gold standard for corporate stablecoins,â said Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
Conclusion
What do you think about this new development? I think this is an exciting step for Ripple, as it reinforces compliance and has the backing of experienced professionals. This could really be a game-changer for businesses using stablecoins.
