Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Outshines Tether and Paxos with Gold-Backed Trading Pairs

<a href="https://tech-oracle.com/xrp-usd/">Ripple</a> USD Stablecoin Secures Rare Listing Against Tokenized <a href="https://jpyxx.com/gold">Gold</a> by Tether and Paxos

As Ripple’s network grows, its stablecoin, RLUSD, is becoming increasingly important for connecting traditional finance with the cryptocurrency world. Recently, the Bitrue exchange listed new trading options that allow users to trade RLUSD directly for PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT).

These tokens are digital representations of gold, issued by the companies Paxos and Tether, who also created the stablecoin USDT.

The integration with gold-backed tokens is proving successful, built on a solid base of activity. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that RLUSD has already gained significant liquidity on major platforms, with Binance currently serving as its primary trading center. The RLUSD/USDT pair on Binance sees over $29.3 million in daily trades, representing roughly 10% of all RLUSD trading volume.

As a researcher following the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain, I’m excited to share that gold – specifically PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT) – are now available for trading on Bitrue using the XRP Ledger! This is made possible by RLUSD, a stablecoin built natively on XRP. It’s a significant step for the XRP community, bringing a familiar asset class onto the blockchain. You can start trading now on Bitrue.

Uniswap V3 shows strong trading activity for the RLUSD/USDC pair, with $9.43 million in volume. Curve Finance also holds $7.47 million worth of RLUSD, demonstrating how well RLUSD is integrated into the Ethereum ecosystem – where over half of all stablecoins are currently used.

Recent audits confirming the transparency of RLUSD likely fueled strong trading numbers and allowed for the frequent launch of new trading pairs, including the latest addition of tokenized gold.

A recent report from Deloitte, released on April 2nd, shows that Ripple’s USD stablecoin has reserves of $1.56 billion. This is more than enough to cover the $1.49 billion worth of tokens currently in circulation.

As an analyst, I’m watching the continued growth of RLUSD with interest. Beyond just speculative trading, we’re seeing real-world demand for the stablecoin, and that’s now being reinforced by Convera’s integration of it into their B2B payment channels. This is significant – Convera handles around $170 billion in transactions, and adding RLUSD to that mix signals a strong, organic uptake of the stablecoin beyond the typical crypto space. This move, starting earlier this month, alongside broader exchange expansions, is a key indicator of its increasing utility.
