Ripple Names Sheila Bair to Guide Launch of New Stablecoin

XRP Price Drops 3% as Ripple Unlocks 1 Billion Tokens from Escrow
  • Sheila Bair’s experience helps Ripple meet important regulatory standards.  
  • RLUSD will use both XRP Ledger and Ethereum for cross-border payments.  
  • Ripple seeks to offer a secure and trusted alternative in the stabilisation space.

Ripple has recently appointed Sheila Bair, the former Chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to its consulting panel. This decision comes as the organisation prepares to introduce XRP, a coin pegged to the United States dollar. Bair’s governance skills are expected to improve the firm’s compliance efforts as it enters a rivalry market.

Bair’s Regulatory Background

Sheila previously led the FDIC from 2006 to 2011 and was instrumental in averting the 2008 financial crisis. Her experience is important for navigating the complex oversight environments. She emphasizes her commitment to a compliance-first approach with  the new token. She believes responsible innovation is crucial in the digital asset sales. 

Her diverse background helps ensure that RLUSD meets oversight standards. Ripple’s focus on compliance may attract businesses that seek a secure digital currency option.

Ripple’s Market Strategy

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin aims to disrupt the existing stablecoin market. Currently, Tether  and USD Coin  hold nearly 90% of this market’s total value. Ripple seeks to provide a compliant and transparent alternative. Each RLUSD token will be backed by US dollar deposits, government bonds, and cash equivalents.

Ripple plans to maintain transparency by conducting monthly audits through the accounting firm BPM. This approach builds trust among potential users. Furthermore, RLUSD will operate on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains. This will enhance its use for cross-border payments.

Advisory Board and Use Cases

Ripple’s advisory board includes prominent figures such as co-founder Chris Larsen and David Puth, former CEO of CENTRE Consortium. Their combined experience aims to strengthen Ripple’s strategy in the stablecoin sector. 

Ripple has identified several essential uses for RLUSD. These include international transactions, on/off ramps for exchanges, and the tokenization of real-world assets. Daniel Vogel, CEO of Bitso, a Latin American digital currency exchange, believes it will benefit businesses and customers across Latin America.

As the company advances with the stabilized tokenisation, its commitment to regulatory compliance may help shape its success in the changing digital finance panorama.
