Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Now Available on Aave V3 Ethereum Market for Lending and Borrowing
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has officially launched on Aave’s V3 Ethereum Core market, enabling users to supply and borrow the token, Aave shared in a Monday post on X.
Aave’s new offering sets a 50 million RLUSD supply cap and a 5 million RLUSD borrow cap for users participating in the peer-to-peer lending market.
The RLUSD stablecoin is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and operates across the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains. It is fully collateralized with U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and cash equivalents, maintaining its dollar parity.
RLUSD’s built-in security features make it particularly attractive to institutional investors. Notably, a January amendment to the XRP Ledger introduced a “clawback” functionality, allowing the issuer to reclaim RLUSD tokens from users’ wallets under specific circumstances.
Industry experts believe RLUSD could shake up the stablecoin space, presenting strong competition to established stablecoins like Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC. The new offering is also expected to increase interest in XRP, giving the cryptocurrency added appeal among investors.
