- Ripple’s RLUSD is set to go live on Binance’s spot trading platform.
- The RLUSD will compete with USDT and USDC for market dominance.
- Zero-fee promotion accompanies RLUSD’s debut on Binance.
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced it will list Ripple USD (RLUSD) on January 22 at 08:00 UTC. This would mark the Ripple stablecoin’s debut on the exchange and a significant distribution milestone for the dollar-pegged token.
The RLUSD has Acumulated $1.34 in Market Cap Since Launch
Ripple launched the RLUSD in December 2024, and since then, the stablecoin has accumulated a $1.3 billion market capitalization across 16 crypto exchanges. The latest listing will allow Binance users to trade three spot pairs, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/U, and XRP/RLUSD on the platform. RLUSD deposits will begin immediately after listing, and withdrawals will commence on January 23.
Considering Binance’s status among the global list of crypto exchanges, this listing represents a significant milestone for Ripple’s stablecoin. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that RLUSD has secured listings on other top trading platforms, including Bullish, Kraken, Bitstamp, and Gemini, despite conspicuously missing on arguably the two most prominent crypto exchanges, Binance and Coinbase.
Zero-Fee Promotion to Boost Adoption
Significantly, the latest RLUSD listing by Binance comes with a zero-fee promotion, which runs for an unspecified period. Users believe this incentive will allow the newly listed stablecoin to compete against more established counterparts, such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, which together dominate approximately 90% of the stablecoin market.
Beyond competing for dominance with other existing stablecoins, listing on Binance provides RLUSD access to the crypto exchange’s substantial liquidity pools. Users expect this development to accelerate the adoption of stablecoin as an integral tool in Ripple’s cross-border payment infrastructure.
RLUSD’s Latest Achievements
It is worth noting that RLUSD has made significant inroads into the mainstream financial sector since the beginning of 2026. For instance, BlackRock integrated the stablecoin as collateral for its tokenized treasury fund (BUIGL) early this year. Meanwhile, the DFSA is expanding the use of Ripple’s RLUSD in the DIFC under revised crypto rules effective January 12, 2026.
