In a recent development, Ripple issued a statement on X, emphasizing the enterprise-grade qualities of the stablecoin RLUSD. Ripple's post highlights RLUSD's focus on security, compliance, and scalability for global enterprises.

The company expresses its appreciation for Bluechip, an independent stablecoin rating company, which has rated RLUSD as 'A' and recognized it as the most reliable stablecoin on the market.

Ripple writes: 'Built for enterprise use cases, $RLUSD meets the security, compliance, and scalability needs of global enterprises. We appreciate the A rating from @bluechip_org and the recognition of $RLUSD as the most reliable stablecoin on the market.'

Bluechip Rates RLUSD as the Highest-Rated Stablecoin

In its announcement, Bluechip shares that RLUSD has become the highest-rated stablecoin on its platform.

Bluechip's tweet states: 'The highest-rated stablecoin on Bluechip has never changed. But today, RLUSD has become the newly ranked number 1 stablecoin. Bluechip is beginning to report on RLUSD by @Ripple with an initial rating of A. This reflects our view that RLUSD is one of the safest stablecoins available.'

The detailed rating report, attached to Bluechip's post, provides an in-depth analysis of RLUSD's performance across several key criteria. The agency rates RLUSD with a stability score of 0.91, classifying it as stable. Management received a score of 0.84, and governance was rated at 0.86, both assessed as very low risk.

Bluechip's report describes RLUSD as being backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, government money market funds, and bank deposits, noting that these are assets with low credit risk and low term risk. RLUSD is also managed by the New York State Department of Financial Services, under strict regulatory oversight.

Bluechip's report continues to outline the institutional protections supporting RLUSD. According to the research findings, reserves are held by the Bank of New York Mellon, described as the largest global financial securities custodian and classified as a systemically important financial institution.

Reserves are also maintained in separate accounts to protect token holders in the event of the issuer's bankruptcy. Institutional users can mint and exchange RLUSD directly through Ripple, while retail users can access this stablecoin through the secondary market.

These factors have contributed to Bluechip's overall positive assessment and the 'A' rating, placing RLUSD at the top of Bluechip's stablecoin ranking.

Industry Commentary Welcomes the Recognition of RLUSD

This announcement also received numerous comments from members of the digital asset community. One X user, Xaif, responded to Ripple's post with the comment: 'Great strides from RLUSD. Built to meet the demands of utility, security, compliance, and enterprise-level scalability, all in one. The A rating from @bluechip_org only confirms what we already know — the most reliable stablecoin on the market.'

The joint statements from Ripple and Bluechip reflect the anticipated positioning of RLUSD as a stablecoin designed to meet the needs of institutional and enterprise users, focusing on regulatory compliance and risk management. Bluechip's independent assessment confirms that RLUSD meets their standards for safety and reliability in the stablecoin space.
