Ripple, a cross-border payment company, is on the verge of launching a US dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, after receiving tentative approval from the New York Department of Financial Services. This move aims to provide a stable alternative to Ripple's native cryptocurrency, XRP, which faces regulatory uncertainty. The stablecoin launch positions Ripple as a major player in the regulated stablecoin market, competing with established firms like Circle and Paxos. RLUSD's issuance leverages Ripple's recent acquisition of a NYDFS-chartered trust company and will be facilitated by partnerships with payment providers. The anticipated launch is expected to occur on December 4th.
