Ripple has officially launched the private beta testing of its USD-pegged stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum mainnet. This milestone comes shortly after Ripple’s legal victory over the SEC, marking a significant step toward expanding its ecosystem with additional digital assets.
Ripple’s private beta testing of RLUSD is a crucial phase aimed at enhancing the XRPL network. The testing is being conducted by Ripple’s enterprise partners to ensure the stablecoin’s reliability and security. This stage is vital for identifying and correcting any flaws before a potential public release. Ripple has issued warnings against malicious actors who might falsely claim to distribute RLUSD tokens, emphasizing that the stablecoin is not yet available for public trading.
Despite the beta testing, RLUSD has not yet received regulatory approval, with the SEC previously labeling the token an “unregistered asset.” The next phase will involve public beta testing, where the general public can rigorously test the stablecoin without risking real assets. Ripple aims to obtain regulatory approval and plans to integrate RLUSD with XRP for its cross-border payment services later this year.
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is poised to become a significant player in the growing stablecoin market, projected to reach $2.8 trillion in the next four years. With backing from government treasuries and other secure assets, RLUSD could capture a large market share upon its full launch.
