Ripple Labs has officially received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) for its upcoming RLUSD stablecoin. This marks a key development for Ripple as it prepares to launch a new stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar, and expand its presence in the cryptocurrency market.

Ripple Labs Secures NYDFS Approval for RLUSD

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has confirmed the approval on x (formerly Twitter), noting that exchange and partner listings for RLUSD would be available soon.

“When RLUSD is live, you’ll hear it from Ripple first,” Garlinghouse said. This stablecoin is part of Ripple’s broader strategy to compete in the growing stablecoin market, which is expected to reach a market cap of $2 trillion by 2028.

The approval by NYDFS is a crucial step in the rollout of RLUSD. It ensures that the stablecoin meets regulatory standards and can operate within the regulatory framework of New York. Ripple had previously tested RLUSD on the XRP Ledger and the Ethereum blockchain, and now, the company is preparing for its full-scale launch.
