RLUSD Hits New High as Ripple Deepens Institutional Ties

[cryptobro]

Ripple’s US dollar–backed stablecoin, RLUSD, has surged to a new all-time high, with its market capitalization climbing past $1.38 billion. According to DefiLlama, RLUSD has added roughly $125 million in supply since late November 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing stablecoins in the market.

A major catalyst behind this growth is Ripple’s multi-year partnership with LMAX Group, which will integrate RLUSD as a core collateral asset across its institutional trading infrastructure. This allows banks, brokers, and buy-side firms to use RLUSD for margining and cross-collateralization across spot crypto, perpetual futures, and CFDs—offering 24/7 liquidity and flexibility that traditional fiat rails can’t easily match.
