Ripple has partnered with Chainlink to boost the adoption of its RLUSD stablecoin within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Announced on January 7, 2025, the collaboration will use Chainlink’s price feeds to provide high-quality pricing data for RLUSD on Ethereum, increasing its utility and accessibility. The move aims to expand RLUSD adoption across the rapidly growing DeFi market. The stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, launched in December 2024 and is initially being issued on the XRP ledger and Ethereum blockchain. It currently holds a market cap of $53.09 million with a daily trading volume of $21.8 million. The integration with Chainlink is expected to facilitate the use of RLUSD in DeFi applications such as trading and lending, providing a unified solution for developers.
