Ripple USD (RLUSD) Expands Global Presence and Enhances Institutional Adoption

Coinone Listing in South Korea

On 1 April 2026, Ripple USD (RLUSD) was listed on the South Korean exchange Coinone. The listing marks a strategic expansion into a key Asian market where Ripple has long maintained a strong presence through its native asset XRP. The move is framed by Ripple as a means to increase global reach and provide local access to its fully‑reserved, enterprise‑grade stablecoin.

Integration of RLUSD into Ripple Treasury Management

Simultaneously, Ripple announced the integration of both XRP and RLUSD into its newly launched Treasury Management System. The platform enables chief financial officers and treasury teams to manage fiat and digital assets within a single interface, facilitating the use of crypto assets for treasury operations. The announcement follows remarks from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse that the company’s treasury platform processed up to $13 trillion in payments last year, though it had not previously handled crypto payments.

Bitget Wallet Incorporates XRP Ledger

Earlier, on 31 March 2026, Bitget Wallet incorporated the XRP Ledger into its payment stack, allowing users to perform XRP transfers, RLUSD transactions, and cross‑chain swaps. The integration is aimed at the wallet’s 90 million users, further expanding the liquidity and usability of RLUSD.

Ripple’s National Trust Bank Status

On 31 March 2026, Ripple announced that it is nearing approval as a national trust bank under a new OCC final rule effective 1 April 2026. The conditional bank charter approval positions Ripple to potentially operate as a national trust bank, which could enhance the regulatory framework surrounding its digital assets.
