Ripple has launched its U.S. dollar-backed RLUSD stablecoin on Hidden Road’s institutional trading platform, introducing 24/7 cross-margin trading capabilities designed for precision and speed. This integration follows Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition and enables seamless capital movement while mitigating counterparty risk for institutional traders.
The strategic deployment precedes Ripple’s targeted expansion across Asia-Pacific markets, particularly South Korea, where the company aims to accelerate RLUSD adoption among financial institutions. The stablecoin’s architecture supports complex trading operations while maintaining regulatory compliance through full asset backing.
Regulatory engagement remains central to Ripple’s strategy, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee regarding digital asset policies. RLUSD’s transparent reserve structure positions Ripple advantageously in legislative discussions, reinforcing commitments to market stability and regulatory alignment.
