Ripple’s Strategic Shift Towards Stablecoins and RLUSD
Ripple is now working on making its stablecoin RLUSD available to more users. RLUSD launched in December 2024 and now trades on major platforms Bullish Bitso and Moonpay. According to Ripple President Monica Long, RLUSD will drive future company growth through expansion plans to boost its presence and use. Ripple wants to establish RLUSD as the preferred solution for B2B international payments while helping global businesses better access US dollars.
Ripple’s Commitment to Cross-Border Payment Solutions
Ripple dedicates its business resources to improving cross-border payment systems. The company promotes XRP and RippleNet as better choices than SWIFT because many see SWIFT as outdated and costly. Brad Garlinghouse leads Ripple in making immediate international payments possible without requiring upfront funds or unused capital in overseas accounts. Through RippleNet cross-border solutions, businesses and financial institutions gain quicker and cheaper transaction options.
Ripple’s Efforts in the APAC Region and Blockchain Innovation
Most of Ripple’s business expansion occurs in the APAC zone, especially in Japan and South Korea. Ripple demonstrates long-term support for the Asia Pacific market by launching the XRPL Japan and Korea Fund to help local developers succeed. The program supplies financial resources and technical guidance to help developers succeed with their XRP Ledger (XRPL) projects. By putting its resources into these markets, Ripple shows how blockchain technology can reshape old banking systems.
