- On-chain and market reports place RLUSD’s circulating supply and market capitalization above $700 million since its late‑2024 launch.
- Mercy Corps Ventures is testing RLUSD in Kenya for climate‑risk insurance, using escrowed funds and smart contracts that trigger payouts from satellite and weather data.
- Issued by a New York limited‑purpose trust with NYDFS approval, RLUSD is pitched for treasury operations, remittances, tokenization and use as collateral.
- Major exchange listings and integrations, including Kraken, Gemini, Bitstamp and Ripple Payments, aim to build liquidity as Ripple offers a regulated alternative to USDT in African markets.
