Binance Lists Ripple’s RLUSD on Ethereum; XRP Ledger Support Coming

Published at 2026-01-21 23:45:17

Binance said on Jan. 21 it will debut RLUSD, Ripple’s U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoin, on its spot market with initial support on Ethereum. The exchange is launching RLUSD with zero-fee trading incentives and multichain access, while Ripple highlights growing integrations across payments, liquidity provision and on‑chain finance to broaden the token’s utility.

The listing is a notable distribution milestone that opens RLUSD to Binance’s global user base and could boost liquidity and on‑ramp options for projects and merchants. Ripple’s confirmation that XRP Ledger support is coming next signals expanded native rails for settlements and developer use on a purpose-built ledger; market watchers will be watching trading volumes and integrations as RLUSD enters larger spot markets.
