This growth has come in less than a year since its launch in December 2024. RLUSD has now become one of the fast-growing stablecoins, and its combined supply on Ethereum and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/stablecoin\/ripple-usd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reached<\/a> $1.261 billion.<\/p>\n<p>RLUSD has gained attention for its compliance-focused structure. It is issued by Standard Custody &amp; Trust Company, a New York-chartered trust firm affiliated with Ripple. This approach has made it a preferred option among institutions seeking regulated digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>Market data places RLUSD currently at 13th among stablecoins by market capitalisation. To enter the top five, it would need to overtake MakerDAO\u2019s DAI, which holds a market cap of $4.42 billion. Analysts believe it is on track, given the pace of its expansion and growing regulatory clarity around its use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ripple Gains ADGM Approval for RLUSD<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Abu Dhabi\u2019s Financial Services Regulatory Authority <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/ripple-expands-middle-east-footprint-as-rlusd-is-greenlisted-by-abu-dhabi-fsra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">granted<\/a> formal recognition to RLUSD as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token on November 27. This approval gives the stablecoin legal standing for use in regulated financial activities inside the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the UAE\u2019s primary financial centre.<\/p>\n<p>The FSRA had updated its digital asset rules earlier this year, creating a foundation for greater institutional involvement while applying strict regulatory controls. These reforms were intended to encourage the use of digital assets in mainstream finance while ensuring a clear legal structure for oversight. Jack McDonald, Ripple\u2019s Senior Vice President of Stablecoins, emphasised the company\u2019s regulatory focus following the FSRA decision. He said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe FSRA\u2019s recognition of RLUSD as a Fiat-Referenced Token reinforces our commitment to regulatory compliance and trust \u2013 two non-negotiables when it comes to institutional finance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Ripple Eyes Wider RLUSD Adoption<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The recent approval from Abu Dhabi fits into a larger strategy by Ripple to grow its presence across the Middle East and Africa. As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/ripple-expands-with-bahrain-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported <\/a>earlier, the company formed a partnership with Bahrain FinTech Bay. The agreement aims to support development in the country\u2019s crypto infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple has also<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/ripple-secures-uae-custody-deal\/\"> signed<\/a> a custody agreement in the UAE to support tokenisation of property titles using the XRP Ledger. This points to a wider strategy involving the integration of real-world assets into digital systems. With a growing list of regulatory approvals and increasing institutional interest, RLUSD\u2019s role as a stable and compliant settlement asset continues to expand. The Middle East has become a strategic region for Ripple\u2019s stablecoin initiatives, positioning it for wider adoption across regulated financial hubs.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
