Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Lists on Coinone, Brings KRW On‑Ramp

Published at 2026-04-03 00:15:08

Ripple has listed its RLUSD stablecoin on Coinone, a leading South Korean exchange, enabling direct KRW access for local users. The listing is part of Ripple’s broader effort to scale RLUSD across regulated global markets, aiming to increase on‑chain liquidity and practical use cases for payments and trading. The exchange pairing simplifies fiat on‑ramps for Korean retail and institutional participants and expands RLUSD’s geographic footprint.

The Coinone listing could accelerate liquidity-driven applications for RLUSD and support complementary flows involving XRP, particularly for cross-border payments and trading pairs. By targeting regulated venues, Ripple is positioning RLUSD to meet local compliance expectations while building adoption. For traders and businesses in South Korea, the move may mean easier access to a dollar‑pegged stablecoin and new rails for settlement, though actual volume and market impact will depend on user uptake and broader regulatory developments.
