Ripple Expands RLUSD Stablecoin to 40+ Blockchain Networks via Wormhole

According to Ripple's official announcement on June 4, RLUSD stablecoin expanded to more than 40 blockchain networks through integration with Wormhole's Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework. With a market capitalization of approximately $1.72 billion, RLUSD is now the eighth-largest stablecoin globally.

The NTT framework enables RLUSD to move natively across supported blockchains without relying on wrapped tokens, reducing smart contract risks and improving liquidity efficiency. Newly supported networks include Ethereum Layer-2 chains such as Base and Optimism, as well as the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain. Ripple positioned the expansion as infrastructure for institutional payments, decentralized finance, and tokenized asset ecosystems.
