🚀 Ripple Brings RLUSD to Japan!
Ripple is taking a big step in Japan. The company will launch its regulated stablecoin, RLUSD, with SBI VC Trade, part of SBI Holdings, in early 2026. This move aims to make stablecoins safer and easier to use in Japan.
Since its launch last December, RLUSD has grown fast. Its market cap is now $667 million, and Ripple recently minted 24 million more tokens on Ethereum. The token is already being used in crypto IPO settlements, like on the Bullish exchange, and may also support Gemini’s credit facility.
Japan’s stablecoin market is expanding quickly. Earlier this year, USDC partnered with SBI VC, and JPYC became the first yen-pegged stablecoin approved by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA). Ripple hopes RLUSD will become a new benchmark for stablecoins in Japan.
For crypto enthusiasts, this is exciting news. It shows stablecoins are growing globally and gaining trust from big financial players.
Keep an eye on RLUSD—it could change the game in Japan!
