Ripple is set to launch its new stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), globally on December 17, following approval from the New York Department of Financial Services. RLUSD, a dollar-backed stablecoin, will initially be available on platforms like Uphold, MoonPay, and Archax, with more listings expected soon. Ripple aims for RLUSD to enhance cross-border payments and integrate into its Ripple Payments system by 2025. Key figures, including former Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan, have joined RLUSD's advisory board to guide its strategic growth and stability.
