Ripple RLUSD Bags New  Binance Spot Listing

Ripple is taking a big step in growing its stablecoin strategy as RLUSD gets ready to start spot trading on Binance. This listing is an important milestone because it will give more everyday users and institutions access to the stablecoin. 

It is poised to strengthen RLUSD’s role in global digital payments as the digital asset continues to gain trust in the financial sector market.

RLUSD Prepares on Binance with Zero Trading Fees

In a recent press statement, Ripple announced that RLUSD will begin spot trading on Binance on January 26, 2026. At launch, RLUSD will run on Ethereum (ETH), while support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) will be added later.

This step-by-step rollout will let users trade RLUSD right away while Ripple continues expanding it across multiple blockchains.

Following this announcement, Binance confirmed that RLUSD will trade against USDT and XRP. This is designed to give users more flexibility when moving between stablecoins and Ripple’s native asset. 

Deposits are already open so traders can prepare ahead of the launch. To boost early use, Binance is offering zero trading fees on RLUSD pairs for a limited time. This will help attract users and build liquidity quickly.

After listing, users can earn yield on their RLUSD holdings. This is to make it attractive to both active traders and long-term holders seeking stable returns.

RLUSD Sees Strong Global Growth and Regulatory Support

RLUSD, already listed by major exchanges Bitstamp and Bullish, has reached a market value of over $1.3 billion. This massive value is driven by early use from major institutions and real-world applications.

Listing on Binance would give RLUSD access to one of the largest crypto user bases in the world. This is set to improve liquidity, price stability, and transaction efficiency. 

At the same time, Ripple is expanding RLUSD in regions with clear regulations. In Abu Dhabi, the Financial Services Authority has recognized RLUSD as a regulated fiat-backed system suitable for institutions.

In Africa, RLUSD is being used through Chipper Cash to support cross-border payments and financial inclusion. In the Gulf region, Ripple secured approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority through a partnership with Fintech Bay in Bahrain. This allows Ripple to operate legally across multiple markets.

Institutional Partnerships Strengthens RLUSD’s Real-World Use

On the institutional front, Ripple has strengthened RLUSD’s institutional use through a partnership with LMAX Group. Ripple recently invested $150 million in the company, which plans to use RLUSD in its institutional foreign exchange trading systems.

This positions RLUSD as a settlement asset for professional trading, not just retail users. These partnerships show that RLUSD is becoming part of regulated financial markets and enterprise-level payment systems.
