RLUSD Stablecoin: Ripple Secures NYDFS Approval, XRP Up 9%

Ripple has received approval from NYDFS to launch its stablecoin, RLUSD, pushing the price of XRP token up more than 9% in the past 24 hours. This comes after a significant drop in the price of this cryptocurrency, from a multi-year high of $2.70 to $2.30. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse celebrated NYDFS’s approval of RLUSD stablecoin. He said partner lists and exchanges will be listed soon. And, FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reminded X users that she was one of the first to report on Ripple’s stablecoin launch as early as November 29, with a possible launch date of December 4. Although RLUSD is not yet live, Garlinghouse has confirmed that investors will be the first to hear about Ripple’s launch. It should be noted that this stablecoin will challenge the dominance of Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC once it is released.
