Ripple Expands RLUSD Stablecoin to Over 40 Blockchain Networks

Ripple has expanded the reach of its regulated stablecoin, RLUSD, through an integration with cross-chain interoperability protocol Wormhole. The partnership enables RLUSD to move natively across more than 40 supported blockchain networks, eliminating the need for wrapped versions of the asset.

The development marks one of Ripple's most significant infrastructure upgrades for RLUSD since the stablecoin launched, positioning it as a multi-network liquidity solution for both crypto-native users and institutional participants. The Wormhole integration is designed to support a wide range of applications, including international payments, institutional onboarding and offboarding, treasury management, and tokenized asset settlement.

Ripple stated that the infrastructure is intended to provide developers and institutions with access to compliant, USD-backed liquidity across supported networks. The company believes that the combination of RLUSD's regulatory focus and Wormhole's interoperability technology can help Ripple compete more effectively in the stablecoin market.
