Leading blockchain firm Ripple announced the launch of its native RLUSD stablecoin in Japan, along with key partner SBI Holdings. The company looks to grab a larger share of the $300 billion stablecoin market, which is likely to grow into trillions, they said. Over the past week, the company has added $24 million worth of stablecoins through fresh minting.

Ripple Pushes RLUSD Stablecoin Into Japanese Market

Earlier today, XRP parent company Ripple made a move by bringing its native RLUSD stablecoin into the Japanese market. The launch comes in partnership with their key ally, SBI Holdings, which announced plans to bring the stablecoin to its platform earlier this month. Speaking on the development, SBI VC Trade CEO Tomohiko Kondo said:

Ripple noted that its enterprise-grade stablecoin RLUSD is built with utmost compliance and transparency. It assures that the stablecoin is backed by high-quality reserves such as short-term U.S. government bonds, USD deposits, and other cash equivalents.

Furthermore, what sets Ripple apart from its competitors is that it allows third-party accounting, unlike its competitors like Tether’s USDT. In order to introduce greater transparency, banking giant BNY Mellon is maintaining Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin custody.

Stablecoin Active Addresses on the Rise

Over the past week, the market share of the Ripple stablecoin has surged by another $24 million. Similarly, over the past month, the company has minted $134 million in new stablecoins. Data from RWA.xyz shows that the monthly active addresses for RLUSD have surged by 17%, while the monthly transfer volume has soared by 19% to $3.5 billion.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) authorized community banks to collaborate with companies developing stablecoins. This could serve as a major boost for Ripple to push its native stablecoin in the market by bridging the gap with traditional finance.
