Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Launches on Aave V3 Market

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is now live on the Aave V3 Ethereum Core Market as of April 22, 2025.

The addition of RLUSD to Aave marks a significant step for Ripple in expanding its stablecoin’s utility, leveraging Aave’s decentralized finance platform to broaden access and diversify risk profiles for users and institutions.

Ripple launched RLUSD on Aave, highlighting the importance of Aave’s decentralized lending market in increasing stablecoin adoption. Brad Garlinghouse confirmed RLUSD’s wider exchange availability in a recent announcement. Ripple’s increased market presence bolsters its role in the stablecoin market.

Ripple’s release of RLUSD aligns with its enterprise targets, seeking to expand on-chain utility without initial funding injections. The use of RLUSD reflects in stable prices but low initial pool usage on Aave, presenting new growth opportunities.

RLUSD is now available on major exchanges including Uphold, MoonPay, CoinMENA, ArchaxEx, and Bitso. More to follow soon. — Brad Garlinghouse, CEO, Ripple

The stablecoin integrates into Ripple’s existing payment ecosystem, maintaining its dollar peg while engaging institutional channels. The launch brings negligible changes to ETH, BTC, or XRP prices, but sets the foundation for future shifts.

Financial implications remain contained initially, pending further market incentives. Historical trends suggest gradual upticks post-integration promotions, adding depth to potential tactical developments. Regulatory clarity remains a focus, emphasizing RLUSD’s NYDFS approval and continued compliance prospects within a dynamic legal landscape.
