Each RLUSD token will be fully backed on a one-to-one basis by US dollar reserves or short-term cash equivalents.

Sheila Bair, former Chair of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and a member of Ripple's advisory board, emphasized the significance of stablecoins in modernizing financial infrastructure and promoting wider financial inclusion. She expressed enthusiasm for joining Ripple's mission to launch RLUSD with a focus on adherence to regulatory standards.

Addressing the increasing demand from clients and partners for high-quality digital tokens suitable for diverse financial applications—including payments, asset tokenization, and decentralized finance—Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, said:

Our payment solutions will leverage RLUSD, XRP, and other digital assets to enable faster, more reliable, and cost-effective cross-border payments.

Ripple's approach with RLUSD reflects a dedication to principles of responsible innovation and compliance with regulatory frameworks, striving to promote wider adoption of crypto on an international scale.

This announcement comes at a legally challenging time for Ripple, as the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed an appeal to overturn a previous court ruling in a case over XRP sales. The company has recently filed for a cross-appeal.
